are aao na ki jaan gayi, jahaan Gaya so jao
are aao na ke thak gayi hai Zindagi so jao
na shaam na savera, andhera hi andhera
na shaam na savera, andhera hi andhera
Hai rooh ka basera so jao, are aao na

chota na bada koi lamba hai na bona hai
kabaro ke dadab me lambi neend sona hai
chota na bada koi lamba hai na bona hai
kabaro ke dadab me lambi neend so na hai

na bistar hai na bori, na bhan na hi lori
farishto ki lori so jao
are aao na ki jaan gayi, jahaan Gaya so jao
are aao na ke thak gayi hai Zindagi so jao
are aao na

Come, oh come, for life has departed, the world has gone to sleep.
Come, oh come, for life is weary, now sleep.
No evening, no dawn, only darkness, darkness profound.
No evening, no dawn, only darkness, darkness profound.
Here, the soul finds its dwelling, now sleep, come, oh come.

No small, no great, no tall, no short.
In the tombs' chambers, to slumber long, long sleep.
No small, no great, no tall, no short.
In the tombs' chambers, to slumber long, long sleep.

No bed, no sack, no awareness, no lullaby sung.
Angels' lullaby, now sleep.
Come, oh come, for life has departed, the world has gone to sleep.
Come, oh come, for life is weary, now sleep.
Come, oh come.
