mere sirhane jalaao sapne
mere sirhane jalaao sapne
mujhe jara si, mujhe jara si
mujhe jara si to neend aaye
mere sirhane jalaao sapne

khayal chalte hain aage aage
khayal chalte hain aage aage
main unki chhanv main chal rahi hoon
na jaane kis mom se bani hoon
na jaane kis mom se bani hoon
jo katra katra pighal rahi hoon
main sahmi rahti hoon neend main bhi
main sahmi rahti hoon neend main bhi
kahin koi khwab das na jaye
mere sirhane jalaao sapne
mere sirhane jalaao sapne

kabhi bulaata hai koi sapna
kabhi bulaata hai koi sapna
kabhi udati hai dhool koi
main ek bhatki hui si khushbu
main ek bhatki hui si khushbu
talaash karti hoon phool koi
jara kisi saakh par to baithun
jara kisi saakh par to baithun
jara to mujhko hawa jhulaye
mere sirhane jalaao sapne
mujhe jara si to neend aaye
mere sirhane jalaao sapne
mere sirhane jalaao sapne

Ignite the dreams beside my head,
ignite the dreams beside my head.
So that I might find, just a little,
just a little, just a little sleep.
Ignite the dreams beside my head.

Thoughts march onward, ever ahead,
thoughts march onward, ever ahead.
I walk within their shadows cast,
I know not what wax formed my frame,
I know not what wax formed my frame,
that I should melt, drop by drop,
I tremble even in my sleep,
I tremble even in my sleep,
lest some nightmare should bite me.
Ignite the dreams beside my head,
ignite the dreams beside my head.

Sometimes a shadow calls my name,
sometimes a shadow calls my name.
Sometimes dust devils rise and swirl,
I am a scent, astray and lost,
I am a scent, astray and lost,
searching for a single bloom.
Just to rest upon a branch,
just to rest upon a branch,
just to feel the wind’s soft sway.
Ignite the dreams beside my head,
So that I might find, just a little sleep.
Ignite the dreams beside my head,
ignite the dreams beside my head.
