nind naa aayi raja
nind naa aayi raja tum yaad aaye
thandi hawaao me bhi soya na jaaye
nind na aaye raja

laakho sitaare dilkash najaare
fir bhi kami hai piya dil ko tumhaare
najro me tum ho to chaand na bhaye
thandi hawaao me bhi soya na jaaye
nind na aaye raja

dil nahi bas me pyaar nas nas me
nind churake meri khaao na kasme
dil nahi bas me pyaar nas nas me
nind churake meri khaao na kasme
mujhko papiha tere nagme sunaaye
thandi hawaao me bhi soya na jaaye
nind na aaye raja

teri judai meri tanhaai
yaad puraani fir se taja ho aayi
teri judai meri tanhaai
yaad puraani fir se taja ho aayi
aisi me koi kaise palke milaaye
thandi hawaao me bhi soya na jaaye
nind na aaye raja

nind naa aayi raja tum yaad aaye
thandi hawaao me bhi soya na jaaye
nind na aaye raja

Sleep deserts me, O my King,
Memories of you, the night they bring.
Even in breezes cool and deep,
Slumber's solace I cannot keep.
Sleep eludes me, O my King.

Millions of stars, a dazzling sight,
Yet a void, beloved, in my heart's light.
With your image held within my gaze,
Even the moon cannot appease.
Even in breezes cool and deep,
Slumber's solace I cannot keep.
Sleep eludes me, O my King.

My heart unbound, love in every vein,
Stealing my rest, your vows you feign.
My heart unbound, love in every vein,
Stealing my rest, your vows you feign.
The cuckoo's song, its plaintive plea,
Yet sleep remains a stranger to me.
Even in breezes cool and deep,
Slumber's solace I cannot keep.
Sleep eludes me, O my King.

Your absence, a solitude so vast,
Old memories, resurrected, cast.
Your absence, a solitude so vast,
Old memories, resurrected, cast.
How can I close my weary eyes,
When in your absence, my spirit cries?
Even in breezes cool and deep,
Slumber's solace I cannot keep.
Sleep eludes me, O my King,
Memories of you, the night they bring.
Even in breezes cool and deep,
Slumber's solace I cannot keep.
Sleep eludes me, O my King.
