palko ke dware pe nindiya khadi re
palko ke dware pe nindiya khadi re
o rama gujar gayi raat badi re
palko ke dware pe nindiya khadi re
o rama gujar gayi raat badi re

dekhe na dekhe bagiya ka mali
dekhe na dekhe bagiya ka mali
phulo ko kaise bhule re dali
lagae nazar na tohe laga du bindiya kali
kya soch ke na jane mai ro padi re
o rama gujar gayi raat badi re
palko ke dware pe nindiya khadi re
o rama gujar gayi raat badi re

nindiya rani ko ab aane bhi de
nindiya rani ko ab aane bhi de
sapno ka aachal lahrane bhi de
are munne choad gussa jane bhi de
dhak dhak manva bole tik tik ghadi re
o rama gujar gayi raat badi re
palko ke dware pe nindiya khadi re
o rama gujar gayi raat badi re

At the gates of lashes, slumber does wait,
At the gates of lashes, slumber does wait,
O Rama, the night has passed, its hours elate,
At the gates of lashes, slumber does wait,
O Rama, the night has passed, its hours elate.

The gardener of the garden, does he not see,
The gardener of the garden, does he not see,
How the flowers forget the bough of the tree?
If his gaze should fall, I'll adorn you with kohl, you see,
Lost in thought, I know not why, I weep with glee,
O Rama, the night has passed, its hours elate,
At the gates of lashes, slumber does wait,
O Rama, the night has passed, its hours elate.

Let slumber, the queen, now enter in,
Let slumber, the queen, now enter in,
Let the dreams' shawl begin to spin,
Little one, release your anger, let it be within,
The heart beats fast, the clock's tick, a din,
O Rama, the night has passed, its hours elate,
At the gates of lashes, slumber does wait,
O Rama, the night has passed, its hours elate.
