so na o nanhi so na na
ab ro na o nanhi so na na
ab ro na rupa kona jal jal chamke
chandan sulge jag me hai kai
rupa kona jal jal chamke
chandan sulge jag me hai kai
dipshikha dhime se jal ke
aur diyon ko hi chamkaye
dipshikha dhume se jal ke
aur diyon ko hi chamkaye

so ja itna mat jaag
nindiya ko aise mat tyaga
so ja itna mat jaag
nindiya ko aise mat tyag
lal lal angara aankhe
palko ke parde me le le
bant de ye jagana sab ko
khud hi sab ka dard na le
so na o nanhi so na na
ab ro na o nanhi so na na

Sleep now, my darling, sleep now, sleep.
Do not weep, my darling, sleep now, sleep.
The silver corners shimmer, water ablaze,
Sandalwood smolders, moss in the world’s haze.
The flame of a lamp, softly burning,
Illumines the other lamps, returning.
The flame of a lamp, softly burning,
Illumines the other lamps, returning.

Sleep, do not stay awake so long,
Do not forsake slumber's song.
Sleep, do not stay awake so long,
Do not forsake slumber's song.
Your eyes, embers of red,
Let them within your lashes be led.
Share this waking with all,
Do not bear the world's pain, stand tall.
Sleep now, my darling, sleep now, sleep.
Do not weep, my darling, sleep now, sleep.
