    Ahista Ahista Song Lyrics and Translation

    From the movie – Swades

    nindiya tu aa

    Oh sleep, come to me

    aahista ahista

    slowly, slowly

    nindiya tu aa

    oh sleep, come to me

    in do nainon mein

    into these two eyes

    halke se haule se

    softly, gently

    kuchh sapne bhole se

    some innocent dreams

    nindiya tu la

    oh sleep, bring to me

    in do nainon mein ho…

    into these two eyes

    bahe soyi-soyi jaise saari hawaayein

    the winds flow sleepily

    sama bhi hai soya-soya sa

    the atmosphere is drowsy

    nindiya re nindiya re tu mere angana re

    oh sleep, in my arms

    aa ja re

    come to me

    in jhukti palkon pe chha ja re

    spread in these half-closed eyes

    aahista aahista

    slowly, slowly

    nindiya tu aa

    oh sleep, come to me

    mulaayam mulaayam si nili nili raat hai

    the dark blue night is soft and tender

    thapakti hai is dil ko yaadein kayi

    many memories tap on my heart

    yaadon ke paalne mein koi khoyi khoyi baat hai

    in the cradle of dreams lie forgotten matters

    nindiya ab aake tu meri biti lori gaake

    oh sleep, come and sing a lullaby of days gone by

    mere khoye sapne dikhla de haay

    and bring back my lost dreams

    yaadon ka palna jhula de

    rock the cradle of memories

    aahista aahista

    slowly, slowly

    nindiya tu aa….

    oh sleep, come to me

    mahaki hawa ki reshmi chaadar kaho to bichha duun

    I can spread a silken blanket of scented air if you wish

    nil gagan se chaand ko leke takiya bana duun

    from the blue sky I can take the moon to make a pillow

    chaandani laake tumko orhaake main gungunaayuungit koi

    I can cloak you with the moonbeam and hum a tune

    us pal hi chupke se phir nindiya aa jaaye

    and that very moment sleep will come to you

    palkon pe jaise thahar jaaye

    and rest on your eyelashes

    mithi mithi nindiya aaye

    sweet sweet sleep will come

    aahista aahista nindiya tu aa

    slowly, slowly come oh sleep

    in do nainon men….

    into these two eyes
