ruk na sako to jao tum jao
ruk na sako to jao tum jao
ek najar hum sabki hai fariyad
chhavi hamari bhitar le lo yaar
ek najar hum sabki hai fariyad
chhavi hamari bhitar le lo yaar
hum to tumhe na bhul sakenge
hum to tumhe na bhul sakenge
tum chahe jit jao tum jao

pyara ratan bichhadta hai jab sakhani
kisi ka hriday najar ata tab sakhini
tum to hamare raju the tum chale gaye rul dikha ke
tum jao
ruk na sako to jao tum jao
jane kab phir mile purane sathi
jane kan phir mile prem ki paati
aaj bichhadne se pahle tum
aaj bichhadne se pahle tum
ek baar muskaao
tum ek bar muskaao tum jao
ruk na sako to jao tum jao

If you cannot stay, then go, depart,
If you cannot stay, then go, depart.
A plea, a gaze, from every heart,
Within your soul, our image, impart.
A plea, a gaze, from every heart,
Within your soul, our image, impart.
We, we cannot forget your grace,
We, we cannot forget your face.
Though you may triumph, go your way.

When a jewel departs, from the conch it falls,
A heart is revealed, as sorrow calls.
You were our King, our joy, our light,
You chose to leave, embracing night.
Go.
If you cannot stay, then go, depart.
When will we meet, old friends of art?
When will love's letter reach our core?
Before parting, forevermore,
Before parting, forevermore,
Smile once more,
Smile once more, then go.
If you cannot stay, then go, depart.
