nindiya ori nindiya jag ko sulana sare jag ko sulana
tu mat sona warna mera ye chota sa bacha jag jayega
jag ko sulana sare jag ko sulana
jag ko sulana sare jag ko sulana
nindiya tu mat sona mat sona tu mat sona
apne rath pe bithake mujhe phulo me sajake mujhe
aankho me basake mujhe hotho me rachake le jana
ori nindiya tu mat sona mat sona tu mat sona

are pagle ab so bhi ja na
band galiya hui hai sab saheliya hui band
palko ke ghar me rang raliya hui hai
band galiya hui hai sab saheliya hui band
palko ke ghar me rang raliya hui hai
band aise me kar de dono
aaankho ka hasna hasana
ori nindiya tu mat sona mat sona
jag ko sulana sare jag ko sulana
nindiya ori nindiya tu mat sona mat sona
tu mat sona tu mat sona

Sleep, oh sleep, lull the world to rest,
Lull the whole world to rest,
But do not sleep yourself, lest my small calf awaken,
Lull the world to rest, lull the whole world to rest,
Lull the world to rest, lull the whole world to rest.
Sleep, do not slumber, do not sleep, do not sleep.

Upon your chariot, adorn me with flowers,
Enshrine me in the eyes, in the lips, weave me, and carry me away,
Oh sleep, do not slumber, do not sleep, do not sleep.

Oh, mad one, now, sleep!
The door of sleep has closed, all companions have closed,
Revelries have ceased within the homes of the eyelids.
The door of sleep has closed, all companions have closed,
Revelries have ceased within the homes of the eyelids.
In this moment, shut away,
The laughter and mirth of the eyes.
Oh sleep, do not slumber, do not sleep.
Lull the world to rest, lull the whole world to rest.
Sleep, oh sleep, do not slumber, do not sleep.
Do not sleep, do not sleep.
