nanhi nanhi palke tori
nanhi nanhi palke tori
meri nindiya karle chori
mamta ki baaho se main khechu
mamta ki baaho se main khechu
tere palne ki dori
nanhi nanhi palke tori

tu mere yovan ki jwala
tu mere yovan ki jwala
jisko maine rup me dhala
kitna sundar tera tan man
kal ko na ho jaye kala
hans hans rote rote
hans hans rote rote
deti hu main tujhko lori
nanhi nanhi palke tori

tu dharti se julm mitaye
tu dharti se julm mitaye
zakhmo ki marham ban jaye
gham ke sholo se main khelu
lekin tujh pe aanch na aaye
tujho laage meri umariya
tujho laage meri umariya
kam ho jaye saanse mori
nanhi nanhi palke tori
nanhi nanhi palke tori
meri nindiya karle chori
la ll la palke tori
palke tori

Tiny, tiny lashes, yours,
Tiny, tiny lashes, yours,
Steal away my slumber's doors.
From a mother's arms, I pull,
From a mother's arms, I pull,
The cradle's silken cords unfurl.
Tiny, tiny lashes, yours.

You, the fire of my youth,
You, the fire of my youth,
Sculpted in a form of truth.
How lovely is your body, soul,
May tomorrow not take its toll.
Laughing, weeping, ever near,
Laughing, weeping, ever near,
I sing to you my lullaby.
Tiny, tiny lashes, yours.

May you banish earthly wrongs,
May you banish earthly wrongs,
To wounds, a balm, where pain belongs.
Through sorrow's flames, I'll gently tread,
But let no shadow touch your head.
May my years be yours instead,
May my years be yours instead,
And my breath, diminish, free.
Tiny, tiny lashes, yours,
Tiny, tiny lashes, yours,
Steal away my slumber's doors.
Laa laa laa, lashes, yours,
Lashes, yours.
