aaja nindiya raina beeti jaye re
raina beeti nindiya kyun na aaye re
rato ke saye hai saye se na dar ho
aaja niniya raina beeti jaaye re

koi nahi hai phir kyun sahmi hai pari
mana hawaye gahre sannato se bhari
hai tera vahem ke hai koi idhar ho
aaja nindiya raina beeti jaye re

sapne kitne rahenge palko pe kahi
aahat aati hai ninde aati hi nahi
leharati hai koi parchhaai aankho par ho
aaja nindiya raina beeti jaye re
raina beete nindiya kyun naa aaye re
kyun naa aaye re

Come, slumber, the night ebbs away,
The night departs, why sleep delays?
Shadows of night, have no fear of the gloom,
Come, slumber, the night ebbs away.

None are here, yet why does the soul quake?
Though the winds are filled with deep, silent ache.
Is it a phantom, or presence so near?
Come, slumber, the night ebbs away.

How many dreams linger on the lids untold?
Footsteps echo, but sleep won’t unfold.
A shadow dances, upon the sight appears,
Come, slumber, the night ebbs away,
The night departs, why sleep delays?
Why does it delay?
