| Lyrics |
Translation |
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Nindiya tu aa | Oh sleep, please come |
| In do naino mein | Into these two eyes |
| Halke se haule se | Softly and gently |
| Kuch sapne bhole se | Some innocent dreams |
| Nindiya tu la | Oh sleep, please bring |
| In do naino mein | Into these two eyes |
| Bahe soyi soyi jaise sari hawayein | Like the sleeping winds flow |
| Samaan bhi hai soya soya sa | Also the atmosphere is drowsy |
| Nindiya re, nindiya re | Oh sleep, oh sleep |
| Tu mere angna re | In my courtyard |
| Aa jaa re | Please do come |
| In jhukti palkon pe chha jaa re | Spread in these half closed eyes |
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Nindiya tu aa | Oh sleep, please come |
|
|
| Mulayam mulayam si neeli neeli raat hai | The dark blue night is soft and tender |
| Thapakti hai is dil ko yaadein kahi | Many memories tap on my heart |
| Yaadon ke paalne mein | In the cradle of memories |
| Koi khoyi khoyi baat hai | Something seems to be lost |
| O nindiya ab aake tu | O sleep, now you come |
| Meri beeti lori gaake | Sing the lullaby of my past |
| Mere khoye sapne dikhla de | Show me my lost dreams |
| Yaadon ka palna jhula de | Rock the cradle of memories |
|
|
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Nindiya tu aa | Oh sleep, please come |
| In do naino mein | Into these two eyes |
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Nindiya tu aa | Oh sleep, please come |
|
|
| Mehki hawa ki reshmi chaadar | The silky blanket of scented air |
| Kaho toh bicha doon | I'll spread it if you tell me |
| Neel gagan se chand ko leke | I'll bring the moon from the blue skies |
| Takiya bana doon | And make it your pillow |
| Chandni la ke, tumko odha ke | I'll bring the moonlight and cover you |
| Main gungunaon geet koi | I'll hum a tune |
| Us pal hi chupke se | Then secretly at that very moment |
| Phir nindiya aa jaye | Sleep will come |
| Palkon pe jaise thehar jaye | It will rest on your eyelashes |
| Meethi meethi nindiya aaye | Sweet sleep will come |
|
|
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Nindiya tu aa | Oh sleep, please come |
| In do naino mein | Into these two eyes |
| Halke se haule se | Softly and gently |
| Kuch sapne bhole se | Some innocent dreams |
| Nindiya tu la | Oh sleep, please bring |
| In do naino mein | Into these two eyes |
| Bahe soyi soyi jaise sari hawayein | Like the sleeping winds flow |
| Samaan bhi hai soya soya sa | Also the atmosphere is drowsy |
| Nindiya re, nindiya re | Oh sleep, oh sleep |
| Tu mere angna re | In my courtyard |
| Aa jaa re, aa jaa re | Please do come, please do come |
| In jhukti palkon pe chha jaa re | Spread in these half closed eyes |
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
| Aahista aahista | Slowly, slowly |
