Sukhad Sapne OR Madhur Sapne
Explanation:


The above are the two ways to translate this expression.

These words are generally spoken by us when someone very dear to us is going to have a sleep. Here *sweet* has been used in the sense of pleasant, therefore it would be better to translate the same as *sukhad*, otherwise its literal alternative i.e. *madhur* is not bad either and this may also be used in this context. Another greeting viz. *good night* is frequently spoken in such a circumstance which is translated as *shubh raatri*. Had you provided some context, we would have suggested some more precise terms.
