so ja so ja so ja so ja
nanhe raja nind ki rani aayegi
nind ki rani aayegi
mamta se bharpur khel khilauna layegi
nind ki rani aayegi
so ja so ja nanhe raja

ek khilauna jivan aasha
ek khilauna jivan aasha
ek deewana sapna ha ha ek deewana sapna
in dono se hilmil dole raja apna
nanhe raja apna door khadi khel jawani
ye dekh dekh muskurayegi
so ja so ja nanhe raja

ek khilauna chand khushi khushi ka
ek khilauna chand khushi khushi ka
ek kismat ka tara
ha ek kismat ka tara
dono se mil khel rachaye
nanha raaj dulara nanha raaj dulara
bachpan khil khil hansta wo ga
mamta saj ke jayegi
nind ki rani aayegi
so ja so ja nanhe raja
so ja so ja nanhe raja

Sleep now, sleep now, little king, sleep now,
The queen of slumber will come to you,
The queen of slumber will come,
Bearing toys, overflowing with love,
The queen of slumber will come,
Sleep now, sleep now, little king.

A toy of life, a hope so bright,
A toy of life, a hope so bright,
A dream, a wild and fervent dream, yes, a dream,
With these, your kingdom sways and plays,
Your little kingdom, far beyond your sight, youth stands,
Smiling, watching your sweet play,
Sleep now, sleep now, little king.

A toy, the moon of joy,
A toy, the moon of joy,
A star, the star of fate,
Yes, a star of fate,
Together, they weave a game,
Beloved, cherished king, beloved, cherished king,
Childhood laughs and sings,
The mother's melody will play,
The queen of slumber will come,
Sleep now, sleep now, little king,
Sleep now, sleep now, little king.
