aaj jaane ki zidd na karo
aaj jaane ki zidd na karo
yohi pahno main bethe ro
aaj jaane ki zidd na karo

hai gun jaye ge hum to lot jaye ge
asi baat kiya na karo
aaj jaane ki zidd na karo
aaj jaane ki zidd na karo

hum hi socho jara kyu na kare tum
jan jati hai jab jati ho tum
tum ko apni kasam jane ja baat ithni meri
man lo ajj jaane ki zidd na karo

kithna masusam rangi hai yah samay
usne ishq kiya ajj mera charn
kal ki kis ko khabar jane ja
rok lo ajj ki rat ko
ajj jaane ki zidd na karo

Do not insist on leaving today,
Drift with me in the embrace of now,
Do not insist on leaving today.

If you go, we will be undone, lost,
Do not speak such words,
Do not insist on leaving today,
Do not insist on leaving today.

Think, I implore you, why not stay?
My very life departs when you turn to go,
I swear by your own heart, my love,
Hear this plea, do not insist on leaving today,
If you go, we will be undone, lost,
Do not speak such words.

How tender, how vibrant, this moment,
Love has blossomed at my feet this day.
Who knows of tomorrow, my beloved?
Hold fast to tonight,
Do not insist on leaving today.
