soja munne soja
raja bete soja
soja munne soja
raja bete soja
chandan ka palna nahi hai
resham ki dori nahi hai
kaise jhulau isme sulau
mamta ki bebasi hai
ho soja munne soja
raja bete soja

jivan ye bojh sa maine gujara
dukh ke aanchal se tujhko sanwara
taqdeer ka hai meri tu hi sahara
ho ho soja munne soja
raja bete soja

utni ho umar teri jitne hai taare
gham ka to saya kabhi aaye na dware
main haar jaau to kya
par tu na hare
ho ho soja munne soja
raja bete soja

kal main rahu na rahu najdik tere
phir bhi yaki hai mujhe ae chand tere
sach tu karega mere sapne sunhare
ho ho soja munne soja
raja bete soja
chandan ka palna nahi hai
resham ki dori nahi hai
kaise jhulau isme sulau
mamta ki bebasi hai
ho soja munne soja
raja bete soja

Sleep now, my little one, sleep,
My kingly son, to slumber deep.
Sleep now, my little one, sleep,
My kingly son, to slumber deep.

No cradle of sandalwood,
No silken thread to hold,
How can I rock, how can I soothe?
A mother's helplessness unfolds.
Oh, sleep now, my little one, sleep,
My kingly son, to slumber deep.

This life I've borne, a heavy load,
From sorrow's cloak, your path I've sowed.
My only hope, my guiding star,
Oh, sleep now, my little one, sleep,
My kingly son, to slumber deep.

May your years be as stars above,
May grief's shadow never touch your love.
If I should fail, what then,
But you will rise, and you will prove,
Oh, sleep now, my little one, sleep,
My kingly son, to slumber deep.

Tomorrow, near or far I'll be,
Yet, moon, I trust your destiny.
You will fulfill my sweetest dreams,
Oh, sleep now, my little one, sleep,
My kingly son, to slumber deep.

No cradle of sandalwood,
No silken thread to hold,
How can I rock, how can I soothe?
A mother's helplessness unfolds.
Oh, sleep now, my little one, sleep,
My kingly son, to slumber deep.
