mai rok lu tere badte kadam
mai rok lu tere badte kadam
adhikar kahan mera hai sanam
mera itna hi tujhse kahna hai
ruk ja zara tujhe meri kasam
mai rok lu tere badte kadam

vinti hai tujhko mai vasta du bachpan ka
kudrat ne bandha uss bandhan ka
khelte the hum jis angan me us angan ka
ha mujhse us khushiyon ke daman ka
kya milega tujhe gum deke mujhe
ruk ja zara tujhe meri kasam
mai rok lu tere badte kadam

yaad zara tu kar le apne din raat
choti wo shararat khatti mitti si wo baat
kabhi ruthe mai kabhi tu kabhi dono saath
yaha waha udte phire leke hantho me haath
ya mujhe saath le ya to ye maan le
ruk ja zara tujhe meri kasam
mai rok lu tere badte kadam
adhikar kahan mera hai sanam
mera itna hi tujhse kahna hai
ruk ja zara tujhe meri kasam
ruk ja zara tujhe meri kasam

I would halt your forward stride,
My love, where lies my right to bid?
I only plead, this much to say,
Pause for a breath, by my soul's oath.
I would halt your forward stride.

I beg you, on our childhood's grace,
The bond that nature did embrace.
The garden where we loved to play,
And all the joys it held that day.
What sorrow gains you, causing pain?
Pause for a breath, by my soul's oath.
I would halt your forward stride.

Recall the days, the nights we knew,
The small mischiefs, the words so true.
At times I'd pout, at times you too,
And hand in hand, we'd laugh and flew.
Come, take me with you, or yield,
Pause for a breath, by my soul's oath.
I would halt your forward stride,
My love, where lies my right to bid?
I only plead, this much to say,
Pause for a breath, by my soul's oath.
Pause for a breath, by my soul's oath.
