so ja re so ja meri akhiyon ke taare
mere raaj-dulaare raaj-dulaare
o tohe sapanon ki nagari se nindiya pukaare
so ja re so ja

pariyon ke baalak taaron ke bhes mein
tujhko bulaane aaye chanda ke desh mein
chanda ke desh mein sapnon ka raaj hai
mere munne ke liye phulon ka taaj hai
raaj-dulaare
o tohe sapanon ki nagari se nindiya pukaare
so ja re so ja

Sleep now, sleep now, star of my eyes,
My cherished one, my heart's sunrise.
From dream's bright city, slumber calls,
Sleep now, sleep now, beyond these walls.

Fairies descend, in starlight's gleam,
To beckon thee to moonlit dream.
In moonlit lands, a kingdom lies,
A crown of flowers for my child's eyes.
My cherished one, my heart's release,
From dream's bright city, bring you peace.
Sleep now, sleep now, find sweet ease.
