o ruk ja dilbar ruk ja rani
ruk ja dilbar ruk ja rani
aashiq ki sun prem kahani
aa gale se lag ja apne yaar ke
gila jata rahega, gila jata rahega
gila jata rahega

are ja main na rukungi main na jhukungi
main na tumhe pahchanungi
lakh pado tum mere paiya
main hargij na manungi
main na rukungi main na jhukungi
main na tumhe pahchanungi
oye ruk ja ruk ja ruk ja

are diwani tune iski kadar na jani
mastani iski baat na mani
teere najar ka ye hai ghayal
isko bana le aankh ka kajal
ishq me tere ho gaya pagal
ho gaya pagal
kahani sun le tu iski kahani
diwani iski kadar na jani
main hu ek hawa ka jhonka
ruk ja ruk ja ruk ja
ha ha re ha

apne aashiq se sanam ruth ke jaya na karo
ishq ki aag me aashiq ko jalaya na karo
chahne wala badi mushkil se milta hai
jo mohabbat me mita usko mitaya na karo
ye hai majnu tumhara ha
ye hai ranjha bechara ha
yahi farihad bhi hai yahi mahiwal bhi hai
kasam laila ki tumko kasam hai heer ki tumko
kasam sohni ki tumko kasam shiri ki tumko
kasam ganga ki tumko kasam jamuna ki tumko
kasam radha ki tumko kasam meera ki tumko
kasam meera ki tumko kasam meera ki tumko
ari ab maan bhi jaao
kasam meera ki tumko

are ruk gayi dilbar ruk gayi rani
ae ruk gayi dilbar ruk gayi rani
bol de apni prem kahani
ja gale se lag ja apne yaar ke
gila jata raha
ye dil gata raha
gila jata raha

Oh, linger, heart's beloved, linger, queen,
Hearken to the lover's love-spun scene.
Come, embrace your lover, near and true,
The grievances will fade, the grievances will subdue,
The grievances will fade.

No, I shall not pause, nor shall I yield,
Nor to your presence will my heart be revealed.
Though you grasp my feet with fervent plea,
I'll not relent, I shall not agree.
I'll not pause, nor shall I yield,
Nor to your presence will my heart be revealed.
Oh, linger, linger, linger.

Oh, mad one, you've not known his worth,
You've spurned the essence of his birth.
This gaze, an arrow, leaves him slain,
Make him the kohl that lines your eyes, again.
In your love, he's driven to insane,
Driven to insane.
Listen to his tale, the story of his pain,
Mad one, you've not known his worth, again.
I am but a gust of wind,
Linger, linger, linger, again.
Yes, yes, oh yes.

From your lover, my love, do not stray,
Do not in love's fire, his spirit, flay.
A true lover, with hardship, is found,
In love's embrace, let your heart be bound.
He is your Majnun, yes,
He is poor Ranjha, yes,
He is Farhad, he is Mahiwal too,
By Laila's oath, by Heer's oath to you,
By Sohni's oath, by Shirin's oath anew,
By Ganga's oath, by Jamuna's oath, it's true,
By Radha's oath, by Meera's oath to you,
By Meera's oath to you, by Meera's oath to you.
Oh, now relent, I implore,
By Sita's oath, forevermore.

Oh, she paused, my beloved, she paused, my queen,
Oh, she paused, my beloved, she paused, I've seen.
Now, speak your love's cherished scene,
Come, embrace your lover, near and true,
The grievances will fade,
This heart will sing anew,
The grievances will fade.
