ruk ja mere yaar, ruk ja mere yaar
yaar mere kabhi tumne kaha tha
saath jiyenge sath marenge
yaad karo ek baar, meri dosti tera pyar
ha yaar mere kabhi tumne kaha tha
saath jiyenge sath marenge
yaad karo ek baar, meri dosti tera pyar

jo bhi suna tha man nahi mana
tere dar pe aaya
jo bhi suna tha man nahi mana
tere dar pe aaya
andha hokar dekh liya wo
tu jo dekh na paya
ruk ja mere yaar, mere yaar ruk ja
hoti hain apni rusvaai
dosti pe ab aanch hain aai
laut bhi aa mere yaar, meri dosti tera pyar

pyar deeya hain dosti baati
dono mikar jalte
pyar deeya hain dosti baati
dono mikar jalte
jaise rath ke dono pahiye
hokar ke hain chalte
mere yaar ruk ja, ruk ja mere yaar
tune mujhko aaj hain chheda
kaahe mujhse mukh hain moda
kaise chalu main yaar, meri dosti tera pyar

Halt, my friend, oh halt, my friend,
You once declared, your voice so clear,
We'd live as one, and die as one,
Recall those words, my friend, so dear,
My friendship, and your love, held near.

You said, and yet my heart did stray,
I came to you, against my will,
You said, and yet my heart did stray,
Before your door, my yearning still.
Blindly I saw, what you ignored,
The truth you failed to feel.
Halt, my friend, my friend, now stay,
Where shame and whispers start to loom,
Our friendship's fire, consumed by gloom,
Return to me, my friend, I pray,
My friendship, and your love, come home.

Love, a lamp, and friendship, wick,
Together, burning ever bright,
Love, a lamp, and friendship, wick,
Consumed by flame, in burning light.
Like chariot wheels, in constant sway,
Two halves that move as one in sight.
My friend, oh halt, now stay,
You leave me here, to face the night,
Why turn away, from all that's right?
How can I walk, this lonely way,
My friendship, and your love, in flight?
