Koi gaata main so jaata

Sansriti ke vistrit saagar par

Sapanon ki nauka ke andar

Sukh-dukh ki laharon par uthh-gir

Bahata jaata main so jaata

Koi gaata main so jaata

Ankhon men bharakar pyaar amar

Ashish hatheli men bharakar

Koi mera sir godi men rakh sahalaata main so jaata

Koi gaata main so jaata ⁷

This translates roughly to:

Someone sings, and I fall asleep.

On the vast ocean of creation,

Inside the boat of dreams,

Rising and falling on the waves of joy and sorrow,

I drift along and fall asleep.

Someone sings, and I fall asleep.

Filling eyes with immortal love,

Filling palms with blessings,

Someone rests my head on their lap and caresses me, and I fall asleep.

Someone sings, and I fall asleep.
