dhire dhire haule se nindiya rani bole re
dhire dhire haule se nindiya rani bole re
tu so ja kho ja
sapno me bachpan bhole se
dhire dhire haule se nindiya rani bole re
tu so ja kho ja
sapno me bachpan bhole se

jhilmil gagan ki chhav me
dharti magan ye jhume
jhilmil gagan ke chhav me
dharti magan yi jhume
lahraati ye hawaye palko ko teri chume
bhor na jab tak ho le re tu palke na khole re
bhor na jab tak ho le re tu palke na khole re
suhane salone sapno me har pal dole re
dhire dhire haule se nindiya rani bole re
tu so ja kho ja
sapno me bachpan bhole se

phulo me khushboo soyi hain
soyi deeye me jyoti
phulo me khushboo soyi hain
soyi deeye me jyoti
soya hain chupke se jaise sipi me moti
waise meri baaho me
mere pyar ki chhav me
o pyari dulari meri ladli tu so le re
dhire dhire haule se nindiya rani bole re

Softly, gently, slumber's queen does speak,
Softly, gently, slumber's queen does speak,
Sleep now, drift away,
In dreams of innocent childhood, meek.
Softly, gently, slumber's queen does speak,
Sleep now, drift away,
In dreams of innocent childhood, meek.

In shimmering skies' embrace,
Earth dances in glee,
In shimmering skies' embrace,
Earth dances in glee,
The waving winds caress your lashes, free.
Until dawn appears, do not open,
Until dawn appears, do not open,
In beautiful dreams, forever you will be,
Softly, gently, slumber's queen does speak,
Sleep now, drift away,
In dreams of innocent childhood, meek.

In flowers, fragrance sleeps,
In the lamp, the light does rest,
In flowers, fragrance sleeps,
In the lamp, the light does rest,
As a pearl in an oyster, secrets kept, blessed.
Thus, in my arms you lie,
In the shadow of my love, nigh,
Oh, my darling, my beloved, sleep soundly, best.
Softly, gently, slumber's queen does speak.
