ho zara ruk ja pyare ruk ja
aas lagaye baithe hai raho me kab se ham
aas lagaye baithe hai raho me kab se ham
o zara ruk ja pyare ruk ja

bura hota hai raho me machalna, aji achha hai ruk ruk chalna
bura hota hai raho me machalna, aji achha hai ruk ruk chalna
sun pyare itraye kahe o yaaro se katraye kahe
aas lagaye baithe hai raho me kab se ham
o zara ruk ja pyare ruk ja

aaja kab se pukare tujhe banda, tere dam se chale hai mera dhanda
aaja kab se pukare tujhe banda, tere dam se chale hai mera dhanda
aaja teri service kare o phir kismat ki thaili bhare
aas lagaye baithe hai raho me kab se ham
o zara ruk ja pyare ruk ja

in hatho ka jadu jo dikha du, tujhe ghar tak abhi mai pahuncha du
in hatho ka jadu jo dikha du, tujhe ghar tak abhi mai pahuncha du
bigdi ho to bana de aa ja o rukti ho to chala de aaja
aas lagaye baithe hai raho me kab se ham
o zara ruk ja pyare ruk ja
aas lagaye baithe hai raho me kab se ham
aas lagaye baithe hai raho me kab se ham
o zara ruk ja pyare ruk ja
o zara ruk ja, o zara ruk ja

Pause, dear one, just pause,
We’ve awaited you on these paths, for ages.
Awaited you on these paths, for ages.
Oh, pause, dear one, just pause.

It is wrong to rush, to stumble on the road.
But oh, it's good to pause and tread with care.
Listen, my dear, why do you swagger?
Why do you shy away from your companions?
We’ve awaited you on these paths, for ages.
Oh, pause, dear one, just pause.

Come, I have called for you, my servant, for so long,
My trade thrives because of your breath.
Come, I have called for you, my servant, for so long,
My trade thrives because of your breath.
Come, let me serve you, and then fill the purse of fortune.
We’ve awaited you on these paths, for ages.
Oh, pause, dear one, just pause.

If I but show the magic of these hands,
I will carry you home to your dwelling.
If I but show the magic of these hands,
I will carry you home to your dwelling.
If something is broken, I will mend it, come!
If something is stuck, I will set it in motion, come!
We’ve awaited you on these paths, for ages.
Oh, pause, dear one, just pause.
We’ve awaited you on these paths, for ages.
We’ve awaited you on these paths, for ages.
Oh, pause, dear one, just pause.
Oh, pause, just pause, oh, just pause.
