Culdn't help this

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Yunhi pehloo mein baithe raho

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Hai mar jaayenge,

hum to lut jaayenge

Aisi baatein kiya na karo

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Tum hi socho zara,

kyun na roke tumhe

Jaan jaati hai jab uth ke jaate ho tum

Tumko apni qasam jaan-e-jaan

Baat itni meri maan lo

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Yunhi pehloo mein baithe raho

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Waqt ki qaid mein zindagi hai magar

Chand ghadiyan yehi hain jo aazad hain

Inko khokar mere jaan-e-jaan

Umr bhar na taraste raho

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Kitna maasoom rangeen hai yeh sama

Husn aur ishq ki aaj mein raaj hai

Kal ki kisko khabar jaan-e-jaan

Rok lo aaj ki raat ko

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Yunhi pehloo mein baithe raho

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Translation:

Don't insist on leaving today

Just keep sitting beside me.Don't insist on leaving todayelse

I shall die, I shall be looted.

Please don't talk like this.

Don't insist on leaving today.

Give it a thought,why shouldn't I stop you?

When you leave,life goes out of me.

For your own sake, beloved

Just listen to this one plea,

don't insist on leaving today,

keep sitting beside me.

Don't insist on leaving today.

My life is trapped in time's bars,

just a few solitary moments are free.

And if you lose them too, my beloved,

you shall keep craving forever.

Don't insist on leaving today,

keep sitting beside me.

Don't insist on leaving today.

What an innocent hue-wrapped meeting this is

of beauty and love, they rule today.

Who knows what lies in tomorrow,

Let's make this night stand still.

Don't insist on leaving today,

keep sitting beside me.

Don't insist on leaving today.

P.S

"Fayyaz Hashmi (1920-1974) is a legendary song and dialogue writer. He was born in Calcutta.

The brilliance of this guy emerged much before independence of India, when still a teenager, he wrote the song “Tasveer Teri Dil Mera Behla Na Sakhe Gi”. It was recorded in the voice of Talat Mehmood and music was composed by Kamal Das Gupta.

The dynamic achievements of young Fayyaz Hashmi and his clarity of expression by using simple words were greatly appreciated by Qazi Nazrul Islam -“Tum mann main doob kar mann ka bhed nikaltey ho. Aasan shubdoon mein mushkil baat kehna buhut mushkil hay”."

:) True.
