ruk ja lapjhap kaha o jate ho jani
o kuch kam nahi hamari jawani
nagin mai kaisi suhani
hey hey tumhe meri kasam
saiya idhar bhi to dekho tanik

ruk ja lapjhap kaha o jate ho jani
o kuch kam nahi hamari jawani
nagin mai kaisi suhani
hey hey tumhe meri kasam
saiya idhar bhi to dekho tanik
ruk ja lapjhap kaha o janate ho jani
o kuch kam nahi hamari jawani

dunia me ha mere jaisi kaha
o rey gagan o rey sajan
aao na jara jara jara teri baiya daru
aaj vinti karu aaja abhi raja abhi
aao na jara jara karle ye sab baate
piya kahi chal ke baitho tanik

ruk ja lapjhap kaha o janate ho jani
o kuch kam nahi hamari jawani
nagin mai kaisi suhani
hey hey tumhe meri kasam
saiya idhar bhi to dekho tanik
ruk ja lapjhap kaha o janate ho jani
o kuch kam nahi hamari jawani ruk ja

mere singar ka matlab hai piya
tu hai mere liye mere liye angdayi
kahti hai mujhse yahi
kisi ki mai nahi mai hu tere liye
tere tere liye tu na samjhe balam
tum kis ki bato ko
lapjhap kaha o janate ho jani
o kuch kam nahi hamari jawani
nagin mai kaisi suhani
hey hey tumhe meri kasam
saiya idhar bhi to dekho tanik
ruk ja lapjhap kaha o janate ho jani
o kuch kam nahi hamari jawani ruk ja

mana jalima julami naam sa
duja koi sujha nahi
ab to dil tujhko diya
mujhe pyar me is aajar me
parso se parvah nahi
barso se diya jalaye
hamra kaleja ko dekho tanik

lapjhap kaha o janate ho jani
o kuch kam nahi hamari jawani
nagin mai kaisi suhani
hey hey tumhe meri kasam
saiya idhar bhi to dekho tanik

Halt, fleeting heart, where do you flee, my love?
My youth, a fire, is far from meager.
A serpent, I, of captivating grace.
By my soul, I implore you,
Turn, my beloved, look upon me but a moment.

In this world, where dwells a soul like mine?
Oh, my sky, my beloved,
Come, just a little, let me hold your arms.

Come, just a little, let us speak our minds.
My love, let us sit somewhere, just for a while.

My adornment's meaning, my love, is you.
For you, I yearn, for you, my languid sighs.
Whispering, it tells me, here,
I belong to none, I am only for you.
For you, for you alone, you do not understand, my beloved.
You heed another's words,

They call me cruel, a tyrant, a name for the heart.
None other can I imagine.
Now, my heart, I have given to you.
In love, in this fire,
Tomorrow, I care not.
For years, a flame I've kept alight.
Look, my love, at my burning heart but a moment.
Halt, fleeting heart, where do you flee, my love?
My youth, a fire, is far from meager.
A serpent, I, of captivating grace.
By my soul, I implore you,
Turn, my beloved, look upon me but a moment.
