ye ruki ruki hawaye ye ruki ruki hawaye
ye bhuje bhuje sitare meri rat kat rahi hai
teri yaad ke sahare

abhi chandni jawa hai abhi raat has rahi hai
raat has rahi hai zara do ghadi to thahro
zara do ghadi to thahro mere paas mere pyare
mere paas mere pyare

tujhe kaun ye bataye mujhe bhul jane wale
tujhe kaun ye bataye mujhe bhul jane wale
tujhe yaad kar rahe hai mere aansuo ke dhare

zara aur pas ho ja zara dil se dil mila le
tere dil ki dhadkano ko tere dil ki dhadkano ko
meri aarzu pukare meri aarzu pukare

ye ruki ruki hawaye ye bhuje bhuje sitare
meri rat kat rahi hai teri yaad ke sahare

The hesitant winds, they softly sigh,
These dimmed, extinguished stars, as moments die.
My lonely night, it slowly fades away,
Sustained by memories of yesterday.

The moon's young glow, a vibrant, silver sheen,
And night itself, a laughing, playful scene.
Oh, linger now, a moment more with me,
A little while, my love, stay close to me.

Who whispers to your heart to cast me out,
Who tells you, love, to banish all about?
For streams of tears, they whisper in the night,
And call to you with all their fading light.

Draw closer still, and let our hearts entwine,
Your beating pulse, a rhythm close to mine.
Your heart's own song, my longing spirit's plea,
My burning wish, it calls eternally.

The hesitant winds, they softly sigh,
My lonely night, as moments slowly die,
Sustained by memories, so deep and true.
My night of memories, remembering you.
