Ruk Ja Lyrics Translation – Charan | Taaruk Raina

Taaruk Raina tells the story of a waiting lover. He writes, ‘Without you, every moment’s a punishment.’ The artist also asks a loved one to stay.

Baatein kuch aisi tumne jo kiThe things you’ve said were such,
Boondon se mehake phir se zameenThat the earth’s fragrant once more with the rain.
Ishq-e-kitaabon mein chhupa kahinHidden somewhere in the books of love,
Hai woh musafir mera haseenIs that beautiful traveler of mine.
Ruk ja zara ruk ja zaraWait a while, just stay a while,
Dil mein tu aa ruk ja zaraCome into my heart and stay a while.
Tujhse hai bas yeh iltejaThis is my only plea to you,
Ruk ja zaraJust stay a while.
Ruk ja zara ruk ja zaraWait a while, just stay a while,
Dil mein mere ruk ja zaraStay in my heart for a while.
Tere bina har pal sazaWithout you, every moment’s a punishment,
Ruk ja zaraJust stay a while.
Hai musafir tera dilYour heart’s a traveler,
Khwayishon mein uljha rahaThat’s been tangled in its desires.
De ijaazat isko theherne ki khudko na yun tu chhupaLet it stay here, don’t hide yourself away like this,
Guzar jaaye raina hai tujhse yeh kehnaThe night’s passing by, and I must tell you,
Ke har dafa humnava aa banke fasana meraThat every time, my companion, come be my story.
Weseye su gulfam yadaam yadaamO friend, I’m reminded of that rose-faced one, I’m reminded.
Khoshrow khoshandaam yadaam yadaamOf that beautiful face and graceful form, I’m reminded.
Weseye su gulfam yadaam yadaamO friend, I’m reminded of that rose-faced one, I’m reminded.
Khoshrow khoshandaam yadaam yadaamOf that beautiful face and graceful form, I’m reminded.
Weseye su gulfam yadaam yadaamO friend, I’m reminded of that rose-faced one, I’m reminded.
Ruk ja zara ruk ja zaraWait a while, just stay a while,
Dil mein mere ruk ja zaraStay in my heart for a while.
Tujhse hai bas yeh iltajaThis is my only plea to you,
Haan ruk ja zaraYes, just stay a while.
