A song very close to my heart.....
Some songs makes me nostalgic and takes me down the memory lane! This one is... one such beautiful song! Though I am hearing this song since ages... Though time and again I have listened to this song Still...even today...the lyrics...the music...the voice of Jagjit singh .... Seems to be.. so fresh...so fragrant...and absolutely fantastic! Some songs will never die...just like memories of certain people!
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Yunhi pehlu mein bethey raho
Yunhi pehlu mein bethey raho
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Haaye mar jaayein ge
Hum to lutt jaayein ge
Aisi baatein kiya na karo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Tumhi socho zara
kyun na rokein tumhey
jaan jaati hai jab uth ke jaatey ho tum
jaan jaati hai jab uth ke jaatey ho tum
tum ko apni qasam jaan-e-jaa'n
baat itni meri maan lo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Waqt ki qaed mein zindagi hai magar
Waqt ki qaed mein zindagi hai magar
chand gharriya'n yahi hain jo aazaad hain
chand gharriya'n yahi hain jo aazaad hain
inko khho kar kaheen jaan-e-jaa'n
umr bhar na tarastey raho
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Kitna masoom aur rangeen hai yeh sama
husn aur ishq ki aaj me'raj hai
husn aur ishq ki aaj me'raj hai
kal ki kis ko khabar jaan-e-jaa'n
rok lo aaj ki raat ko
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Yunhi pehlu mein bethey raho
Yunhi pehlu mein bethey raho
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
(Tonight, don’t insist on leaving
Sit here close to me
I will die... I will be lost
Don't say such things
Tonight, don’t insist on leaving
Just ponder for a second
Why shouldn't I stop you?
Whenever you get up and go.... my life goes with you
I swear to you, my love
Listen to my one request
Tonight, don’t insist on leaving
Life is trapped in time's prison
But...these are the few moments that are free
By losing them, my love
Don't make a life time regret
Tonight, don’t insist on leaving
and it goes on........)
