nanhi si gudiya aafat ki pudiya
nanhi si gudiya aafat ki pudiya
soye rahi nindiya me khoye rahi re
nanhi si gudiya aafat ki pudiya
soye rahi nindiya me khoye rahi re nanhi si gudiya

o gori gori nanhi si lori
ga gake tujhko jhule jhulau
aaye jo nindiya chanda ki bindiya
tujhko laga ke ye git gau ye git gau
nindiya ki rani teri diwani sapno ki
mala phirohe rahi re nanhi si gudiya

thandi hawa gul na macha
nanhi ke kamre me dhire se aa
bagiya ke toto sheta ke poto
jogi se gao dhire se gao
dhire se gao bistar bichha ke
bistar bichha ke takiya lagake
choti si lado rani soye rahi re nanhi si gudiya

jo kuch padaya jo kuch likhaya
o meri bano mat bhul jana
powder lagake basta uthke
tadke hi tadke school jana school jana

A tiny doll, a storm in a small case,
a tiny doll, a tempest's embrace.
Lost in slumber, adrift in the night,
a tiny doll, bathed in moon's soft light.

Oh, fair and lovely, a lullaby sweet,
I'll sing to you, cradle your feet.
When sleep descends, a moonbeam bright,
I'll sing this song, throughout the night.
The queen of dreams, her heart's desire,
weaves dream-pearls, a silken pyre.

Cool breezes, hush, do not stir,
enter her room, soft as a murmur.
From garden birds, from playful sprites,
sing softly, sing of pure delights.
Spread her bed, arrange her head,
my little queen, in slumber led.

Remember lessons, words I've spun,
my dearest girl, forget them none.
Powdered face, a satchel light,
arise at dawn, to school take flight.
