so gaya sara zamana nind kyu aati nahi
so gaya sara zamana nind kyu aati nahi
aye hawa jakar use tu sath kyu laati nahi
so gaya sara zamana nind kyu aati nahi
so gaya

chand pahle bhi nikalta tha magar aisa na tha
chand pahle bhi nikalta tha magar aisa na tha
aaj aisi baat kyu hai kuch samjh aati nahi
so gaya sara jamana nind kyu aati nahi
so gaya

chandani kuch chand se kah kar jami par aa gayi
chandani kuch chand se kah kar jami par aa gayi
jane kya dekha yaha ab laut kar jati nahi
so gaya sara zamana nind kyu aati nahi
aye hawa jakar use tu sath kyu laati nahi
so gaya sara zamana nind kyu aati nahi
so gaya

The world has fallen to sleep, why does slumber evade me?
The world has fallen to sleep, why does slumber evade me?
Oh breeze, go to her, why do you not bring her near?
The world has fallen to sleep, why does slumber evade me?
Fallen to sleep.

The moon once rose, as it always did, but never like this,
The moon once rose, as it always did, but never like this,
What is this that stirs, I cannot comprehend, cannot see.
The world has fallen to sleep, why does slumber evade me?
Fallen to sleep.

The moonlight whispered secrets to the moon, and then descended to earth,
The moonlight whispered secrets to the moon, and then descended to earth,
Who knows what it found here, for it now refuses to return.
The world has fallen to sleep, why does slumber evade me?
Oh breeze, go to her, why do you not bring her near?
The world has fallen to sleep, why does slumber evade me?
Fallen to sleep.
