soti hai ye rat sone do nind me jaha ko khone do
geet mere tum to suno tum kahi so mat jana
soti hai ye rat sone do nind me jaha ko khone do
geet mere tum to suno tum kahi so mat jana

paas to aao tumhe sunau ek maje ki bat
laut rahe the picnic se hum raste me ho gayi rat
kahi achanak shor utha mude jo hum to kya dekha
bhut bhut bhut chupke kaha jaoge aaj na bacha paoge

fir chintu ne ki chaturayi jadu ki bansri bajai
jhum jhum ke aisi tan bajai un bhuto ki shamat aayi
nach nach behal hue har ki dene lage duhai
chhod de hamko jane bhi do
soti hai ye rat sone do nind me jaha ko khone do
geet mere tum to suno tum kahi so mat jana

ye waqt hamse badal ke aankhe koi sitam na dhaye
palak lage to bas ek badal me shama badal na jaye
dekho idhar chupo na raho kuch to suno kuch to kaho
ji karta hai aaj mai sare jag ki aankh se nind uda du
soti hai ye rat sone do nind me jaha ko khone do
geet mere tum to suno tum kahi so mat jana

Let the night slumber, let the world descend,
Into a sleep where all its edges bend.
Listen close, my song, and do not stray,
Lest you be lost before the break of day.
Let the night slumber, let the world descend,
Into a sleep where all its edges bend.
Listen close, my song, and do not stray,
Lest you be lost before the break of day.

Come closer, let me whisper, a tale to impart,
Of laughter shared, then shadows took the heart.
Returning home, the picnic done,
When darkness fell, and the day was won
By secrets whispered, whispers rise,
A sudden noise, a startled guise.
And what we saw, with silent dread,
Where will you go? Escape, you’ll be dead!

Then Chintu, with a clever mind,
Played a flute, of a different kind.
A magical tune, a vibrant call,
The ghosts they danced, about to fall.
They reeled and stumbled, in despair,
Begging for mercy, a fading prayer.
“Release us now, and let us be,
So let the night sleep, wild and free!”
Let the night slumber, let the world descend,
Into a sleep where all its edges bend.
Listen close, my song, and do not stray,
Lest you be lost before the break of day.

This fleeting time, it shifts its gaze,
Lest cruelty erupt in a fiery blaze.
If eyelids fall, a passing shade,
A world transformed, a scene remade.
Look here, don't hide, your stories speak,
Tell me all, the words you seek.
I yearn to steal, to lift away,
The sleep that holds the world at bay.
Let the night slumber, let the world descend,
Into a sleep where all its edges bend.
Listen close, my song, and do not stray,
Lest you be lost before the break of day.
