taro ki chunar chande ki bindiya
dekho pahan ke aa rahi hai nindiya
aa rahi nindiya
taro ki chunar chande ki bindiya
dekho pahan ke aa rahi hai nindiya
aa rahi nindiya

nindiya aa rahi nile gagan se
maiya ga rahi bholi lagan se
ho nindiya aa rahi nile gagan se
maiya ga rahi bholi lagan se
lal ki mere muththi hai khali
hiro se thali saja rahi nindiya
aa rahi nindiya

nindiya aa rahi le le chhapaki
maiya sula rahi de de thapaki
ho nindiya aa rahi le le chhapaki
maiya sula rahi de de thapaki
lal ki mere adhkhuli ankhiyan
sapano ki sakhiyan bula rahi nindiya
aa rahi nindiya
taro ki chunar chande ki bindiya
dekho pahan ke aa rahi hai nindiya
aa rahi nindiya

A cloak of stars, a moon-pearl bright,
Sleep arrives in silent night.
Sleep arrives,
A cloak of stars, a moon-pearl bright,
Sleep arrives in silent night.
Sleep arrives.

Sleep descends from skies of blue,
Mother sings, her love rings true.
Oh, sleep descends from skies of blue,
Mother sings, her love rings true.
My darling's hand, a vacant space,
With dreams, sleep's tray is graced.
Sleep arrives.

Sleep arrives with gentle sway,
Mother lulls, and strokes the day.
Oh, sleep arrives with gentle sway,
Mother lulls, and strokes the day.
My darling's eyes, half-closed and deep,
Dream-friends call, and secrets keep.
Sleep arrives.
A cloak of stars, a moon-pearl bright,
See, sleep arrives in silent night.
Sleep arrives.
