bandeya tu munh mod ke na jaa
bandeya tu munh mod ke na jaa
bandeya dehleez laangh ke na jaa
naina bechaare ro ro ke haare
chhod gaya tu kiske sahaare
ruk jaa re, naa jaa re
ruk jaa re, naa jaa re
bandeyaa tu munh mod ke na jaa

rab se hone lage shiqve hain
rab se hone lage shiqve hain
jab se tumne kahaa chalte hain
palkon se ashq ye kyun na gire
seene ki jalan ye kaise sahein
ruk jaa re, naa jaa re
ruk jaa re, naa jaa re
bandeya tu munh mod ke na jaa

raste khamosh kyun bethe hain
raste khamosh kyun bethe hain
lamhe sehme se kyun rehte hain
kisi ka toh intezaar hai inhein
sapne kyun bewajah ye bune
ruk jaa re, naa jaa re
tham jaa re, naa jaa re
bandeya tu munh mod ke na jaa
bandeya tu munh mod ke na jaa

O, mortal, do not turn away your face,
O, mortal, do not turn away your face,
O, mortal, do not cross the threshold's space.
My weeping eyes, they're weary now and weak,
Whom do you leave me to, so lost, to seek?
Oh, stay, oh, do not go,
Oh, stay, oh, do not go,
O, mortal, do not turn away your face.

Complaints arise, towards the Divine,
Complaints arise, towards the Divine,
Since you have spoken, "I will resign."
Why do these tears not fall, a flowing tide?
How do I bear this burning deep inside?
Oh, stay, oh, do not go,
Oh, stay, oh, do not go,
O, mortal, do not turn away your face.

Why do the roads in silence now remain?
Why do the roads in silence now remain?
Why do the moments linger, touched by pain?
For someone, they await, with hopeful plea,
Why weave these dreams, if they cannot be?
Oh, stay, oh, do not go,
Oh, cease, oh, do not go,
O, mortal, do not turn away your face,
O, mortal, do not turn away your face.
