aaja re nindiya aaja
meri munni rani ko sula ja
aaja, aaja re nindiya aaja

aaja re, aaja re nindiya aaja
meri munni
meri munni rani ko sula ja
aaja, aaja re nindiya aaja

mujhe dekhe na phule samaye
maa kahkar gale lag jaye
unki sari balaye mai le lu
pran rahe ya jaye
meri aasha, meri aasha
meri aasha ka solah singar
mera soya
mera soya hai munna ka raja
aaja, aaja re nindiya aaja

yaha kaale badal tu na aana
aur chahe jaha barsana
karke bijli ka
karke bijli ka apni kadaka
nahi munne raja ko darana
nahi apna bajana baaja
mera soya
mera soya hai munna ka raja
aaja, aaja re nindiya aaja
aaja re

Come, O Sleep, come now,
Lull my little queen to slumber's vow,
Come, O Sleep, come now.

Come, O Sleep, come now,
My little one,
My little queen, to sleep you must bow,
Come, O Sleep, come now.

With joy, she gazes, her heart alight,
Calling "Mother," embraces me tight.
All her woes, I would gladly take,
Life or death, for her sake,
My hope, my hope,
My hope, a sixteenfold adornment bright,
My sleeping,
My sleeping is the prince of the night,
Come, O Sleep, come now.

Dark clouds, you must not appear here,
Rain where you will, far and near.
Do not flash your lightning's glare,
Do not frighten my little dear,
Do not play your loud fanfare.
My sleeping,
My sleeping is the prince of the night,
Come, O Sleep, come now.
Come now.
