jara tham jana jara ruk jana
jara tham jana jara ruk jana
kehna hai tumse afsana
jara tham jana jara ruk jana
kehne tumse afsana jara tham jana

na to apni kahi na to meri suni
jane wlae kahe kaisi ye berukhi
kaisi ye berukhi rut mastani kare diwani
rut mastani kare diwani
mitti do bate suna jana
jara tham jana jara ruk jana
kehne hai tumse afsana jara tham jana

tera ghar hai kaha teri manjil kaha
jindagi ke safar ki suna dastan o suna dastan
kuch keh jana kuch sun jana
najro se najre mila jana
jara tham jana jara ruk jana
kehne tumse afsana jara tham jana

jara aankhe mila jara surat dikha
dekh duniya na keh de tujhe bewfa
tujhe bewfa o diwane tu kya jane
o diwane tu kya jane
najre churane ka jurmana
jara tham jana jara ruk jana
kehne tumse afsana jara tham jana

Pause a moment, just you wait,
Pause a moment, just you wait.
A tale I must impart to you,
Pause a moment, just you wait.
To you, my tale, pause a while.

Neither mine, nor yours, the words unheard,
Those departing, what coldness they've incurred?
What coldness, wild winds, they drive us mad,
Wild winds drive us mad,
Sweet words, just let them be heard.
Pause a moment, just you wait,
A tale I must impart to you,
Pause a moment, just you wait.

Where is your home? Your destination lies,
Of life's journey, tell me the stories, oh tell them to me,
Speak to me, and then, listen to me,
Gaze into my eyes and then,
Pause a moment, just you wait,
A tale I must impart to you,
Pause a moment, just you wait.

Meet my gaze, reveal your face,
Lest the world deem you faithless, in disgrace.
You faithless? Oh, mad one, what do you know?
Oh, mad one, what do you know?
To flee the eyes, a heavy fee.
Pause a moment, just you wait,
A tale I must impart to you,
Pause a moment, just you wait.
