aaj jaane ki zid na karo
aaj jaane ki zid na karo
yu hi pahalu mein baithe raho
aaj jaane ki zid na karo
haay mar jaenge ham to lut jaenge
aise baaten kiya na karo
aaj jaane ki zid na karo
haay mar jaenge ham to lut jaenge
aise baaten kiya na karo
aaj jaane ki zid na karo

tum hee socho zara kyu na roken tumhe
jaan jati hai jab uth ke jaate ho tum
jaan jati hai jab uth ke jaate ho tum
tumako apanee qasam jaanejaan
baat itanee meri maan lo
aaj jaane ki zid na karo
yu hi pahalu mein baithe raho
aaj jaane ki zid na karo
haay mar jaenge ham to lut jayenge
aise baaten kiya na karo
aaj jaane ki zid na karo

waqt ki kaid mein zindagee hai magar
chand ghadiyaan yahee hain jo aazaad hai
inako kho kar meree jaanejaan
umr bhar na tarasate raho
aaj jaane ki zid na karo
haay mar jayenge ham to lut jayenge
aise baaten kiya na karo
aaj jaane ki zid na karo

kitana maasoom rangeen hai ye samaan
husn aur ishq ki aaj bairaaj hai
kal ki kisako khabar jaanejaan
rok lo aaj ki raat ko
aaj jaane ki zid na karo
yu hi pahalu mein baithe raho
aaj jaane ki zid na karo
haay mar jayenge ham to lut jayenge
aise baaten kiya na karo
aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Do not insist on leaving tonight,
do not.
Stay here, close to my side,
do not.
For I would surely perish, be undone,
do not utter such words,
do not insist on leaving tonight,
do not.

If you but reflect, why would I not hold you back?
My very life departs when you rise to leave,
My very life departs when you rise to leave.
By your own soul, my beloved,
heed this one plea of mine:
Do not insist on leaving tonight,
stay here, close to my side,
do not.
For I would surely perish, be undone,
do not utter such words,
do not insist on leaving tonight,
do not.

Life is imprisoned in time's cage,
yet a few moments remain, free, unbound.
Losing these, my beloved,
you'll yearn for a lifetime,
Do not insist on leaving tonight,
do not.
For I would surely perish, be undone,
do not utter such words,
do not insist on leaving tonight,
do not.

How innocent, vibrant is this scene,
a symphony of beauty and love's embrace.
Who knows of tomorrow, my beloved?
Hold fast to this night,
Do not insist on leaving tonight,
stay here, close to my side,
do not.
For I would surely perish, be undone,
do not utter such words,
do not insist on leaving tonight,
do not.
