soja soja tu soja mere lal soja mere lal
soja pankh jhare titli ke ude din ke rang
khidki khidki maun ghadi hai dwar dwar hai band
ho dwar dwar hai band soja soja tu soja mere lal
soja mere lal soja

dard ka dusala tera dukho ka bichona
aansuo ki khat me hath me tu chandar ka khilona
ho chandar ka khilona soja soja tu soja mere lal
soja mere lal soja

jag mat re jagna bahut bahut hai kathin
jagiro ke naam pe bikate yaha kafan
bikate yaha kafan soja soja tu soja mere lal
soja mere lal soja

Sleep, sleep, my darling, sleep,
My precious one, sleep, sleep.
Sleep, my darling, sleep,
Wings of fallen butterflies, day's hues depart.
Each window veiled, the clock hushed,
Each door now closed,
Yes, each door now closed.
Sleep, sleep, my darling, sleep,
My precious one, sleep, sleep.

Pain's shawl enfolds, sorrow's bed awaits,
In tears' cradle, the moon a toy held near.
Yes, the moon a toy.
Sleep, sleep, my darling, sleep,
My precious one, sleep, sleep.

Do not awaken, for waking is so hard,
For estates, shrouds are sold in this land.
Yes, shrouds are sold.
Sleep, sleep, my darling, sleep,
My precious one, sleep, sleep.
