so ja so ja mere jiwan ke sahare so ja
so ja so ja mere jiwan ke sahare so ja
dard ko bhul ke o dard ke mare so ja
dard ko bhul ke o dard ke mare so ja
suraj ab rat ke aagosh me jakar soya
suraj ab rat ke aagosh me jakar soya
chand bhi badali ke aanchal me sama kar soya
chand bhi badali ke aanchal me sama kar soya
so gaye khwab me kudart ke najare so ja
so gaye khwab me kudart ke najare so ja
dard ko bhul ke o dard ke mare so ja
so ja so ja mere jiwan ke sahare so ja

apne bahate huye aansu mujhe de de beta
apne bahate huye aansu mujhe de de beta
tu meri nind bhi le le beta
tu meri nind bhi le le beta
apni kismat ke andhere me ujale kar ke
apni kismat ke andhere me ujale kar ke
apne gam mere hawale kar ke
apne gam mere hawale kar ke
so ja so ja mere bete mere pyare so ja
dard ko bhul ke o dard ke mare so ja
so ja so ja

Sleep, my life's anchor, sleep now,
Sleep, my life's anchor, sleep now,
Forget your ache, you, stricken by pain, sleep,
Forget your ache, you, stricken by pain, sleep.
The sun has sunk into night's embrace, slept,
The sun has sunk into night's embrace, slept,
The moon, too, has vanished in the cloud's veil, slept,
The moon, too, has vanished in the cloud's veil, slept,
Nature's vistas have slept in dreams, sleep,
Nature's vistas have slept in dreams, sleep,
Forget your ache, you, stricken by pain, sleep,
Sleep, my life's anchor, sleep now.

Give me your flowing tears, my child,
Give me your flowing tears, my child,
Take my sleep, too, my child,
Take my sleep, too, my child,
Illumine the darkness of your fate,
Illumine the darkness of your fate,
Entrust your sorrows to me,
Entrust your sorrows to me,
Sleep, sleep, my son, my beloved, sleep,
Forget your ache, you, stricken by pain, sleep,
Sleep, sleep.
