halke halke aayi chal ke boli nindiya rani
chupke chupke kya soche re o naino ke taare tu soja re
halke halke aayi chal ke boli nindiya rani
chupke chupke kya soche re o naino ke taare tu soja re

tujhko jo dekhu ghadi do ghadi jhum lu
so jaye tu to sukh chain se to palke teri chum lu
tujhko jo dekhu ghadi do ghadi jhum lu
so jaye tu to sukh chain se to palke teri chum lu
kabse tujhko le jaane ko aayi nindiya dware, tu so ja re
halke halke aayi chal ke boli nindiya rani
chupke chupke kya soche re o naino ke taare tu soja re

jab ye ghulegi re aankho me nindiya teri
maa jaisi koi manta me dubi milegi tujhko pari
jab ye ghulegi re aankho me nindiya teri
maa jaisi koi manta me dubi milegi tujhko pari
in sapno me tujhko apne mil jayenge pyare, tu soja re
halke halke aayi chal ke boli nindiya rani
chupke chupke kya soche re o naino ke taare tu soja re
tu soja re, tu soja re

Softly, softly, walked the Sleep Queen, speaking,
"Hush, little one, what thoughts do you keep?
O, star of my eyes, now sleep."

Seeing you, a moment, I could dance,
As you sleep, in peace, your lashes I'd glance.
Seeing you, a moment, I could dance,
As you sleep, in peace, your lashes I'd glance.
Long have I come to your door, to take you hence, now sleep.
Softly, softly, walked the Sleep Queen, speaking,
"Hush, little one, what thoughts do you keep?
O, star of my eyes, now sleep."

When slumber melts into your eyes,
A mother's love, in dreams, will rise.
When slumber melts into your eyes,
A mother's love, in dreams, will rise.
In these dreams, your loved ones will align, now sleep.
Softly, softly, walked the Sleep Queen, speaking,
"Hush, little one, what thoughts do you keep?
O, star of my eyes, now sleep."
Now sleep, now sleep.
