bula raha hai bajakar suro kaa baja
chori chori khidaki se karta hai ishare
tim tim karte tare yeh kahate hain sare
so ja tohe nindiya pukare

rang birangi pariyan tujhe jhula jhulayengi

achchhe achchhe tujhe khilaune dengi pyare pyare
tim tim karte tare yeh kahate hain sare
so ja tohe nindiya pukare
tim tim karte tare yeh kahate hain sare

badalo ki palaki pe munneko bitha key

chanda mama sara jag layega ghuma key
laut key aaye shan se raja dware
tim tim karte tare yeh kahate hain sare
so ja tohe nindiya pukare
tim tim karte tare yeh kahate hain sare

Flickering stars, a chorus they keep,
"Sleep now," they whisper, as slumber runs deep.
Flickering stars, a chorus they keep,
"Sleep now," they whisper, as slumber runs deep.
Flickering stars, a chorus they keep,
"Sleep now," they whisper, as slumber runs deep, flick'ring still.

In dreamland's realm, the moon, a king so bright,
In dreamland's realm, the moon, a king of light,
Summons you forth, with music, a pure delight,
From hidden windows, beckoning with flare.
Flickering stars, a chorus they keep,
"Sleep now," they whisper, as slumber runs deep.
Flickering stars, a chorus they keep.

Fairies of color, to cradle and swing,
Fairies of color, to cradle and swing,
Tales of cat, parrot, and blackbird they'll sing,
Gifts of bright toys, treasures beyond compare.
Flickering stars, a chorus they keep,
"Sleep now," they whisper, as slumber runs deep.
Flickering stars, a chorus they keep.

On clouds' soft palanquin, a journey you'll start,
On clouds' soft palanquin, a journey you'll start,
The moon, a guide, will show you every heart,
Then home you'll return, a king beyond compare.
Flickering stars, a chorus they keep,
"Sleep now," they whisper, as slumber runs deep.
Flickering stars, a chorus they keep.
