ruk ja sathi, ruk ja sathi
ruk ja sathi chala hai akela kaha
milegi na manzil koi yun akele
ruk ja sathi o ruk ja sathi

kaun hai aisa jiske dil par
nahi gunaho ke saye
kaun hai aisa jiske dil par
nahi gunaho ke saye
subah ka bhula jo sham ko laute
bhula nahi kahlaye
ruk ja sathi chala hai akela kaha
milegi na manzil koi yu akele
ruk ja sathi o ruk ja sathi

Halt, companion, halt now, friend,
Where wander you, so utterly alone?
No haven found on paths that bend,
Halt, companion, halt now, known.

Who walks this earth, whose heart is free,
From shadows cast by deeds undone?
Who treads this path, untouched, to be,
By twilight's sins, by day begun?
The lost who turn at day's descent,
Are never truly, utterly astray.
Halt, companion, heaven-sent,
Where wander you, and lose your way?
No haven found, if journeys end,
Alone, with none to light your day.
Halt, companion, now extend,
Your hand to me, and come to stay.
