Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo
Asha Bhosle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

आज जाने की ज़िद ना करो
आज जाने की ज़िद ना करो
यूँ ही पहलु में बैठे रहो
आज जाने की ज़िद न करो

हाय मर जाएंगे
हम तो लुट जाएंगे
ऐसी बातें किया ना करो
आज जाने की ज़िद ना करो

तुम ही सोचो ज़रा
क्यूँ ना रोकें तुम्हें
जान जाती है जब
उठ के जाते हो तुम
तुमको अपनी क़सम जानेजां
बात इतनी मेरी मान लो
आज जाने की ज़िद ना करो

वक़्त की कैद में ज़िन्दगी है मगर
चंद घड़ियां यही हैं जो आज़ाद है
इनको खो कर कही जानेजाँ
उम्र भर ना तरसते रहो
आज जाने की ज़िद ना करो

कितना मासूम रंगीन है ये समां
हुस्न और इश्क़ की आज बैराज है
कल की किसको ख़बर जानेजाँ
रोक लो आज की रात को





आज जाने की ज़िद ना करो
आज जाने की ज़िद ना करो

Really want to know why people disliked it...
They are disliking the song,
the lyrics,
the singer or
comparing same song between various singers or ,
whatever,
kindly explain,
as it's really beyond understanding.
But really curious to understand.
Coz although I loved the song in Farida ji's voice, same I loved in Asha ji's voice and even in Akriti
ji's voice and I must mention there also people have disliked.

Please 🙏 before disliking this song kindly mention what made you dislike such a masterpiece



@orientlover1

Don't insist on leaving today,
Just beside me you stay;
Oh' I'll die, Oh' I'll be ruined,
Don't ever like that say;
Don't insist on leaving today.

Just think why shouldn't I stop you,
My life goes out of me when you depart;
Promise me, O' life of my life,
Just agree to what I say,
Don't insist on leaving today.

Life is a prisoner in the confines of time,
These are a few moments that are free;
If you, O' life of my life, let them slip away,
You may be in for a life-long regret,
Don't insist on leaving today.

How innocent and colorful are these moments,
Beauty and love are at their pinnacle;
Who can say about tomorrow, O' life of my life,
Don't let this night slip away,
Don't insist on leaving today.

आज जाने की ज़िद.. न करो ।।

यूं ही पहलू में बैठे रहो
आज जाने की ज़िद न करो
हाए मर जाएंगे, हम तो लुट जाएंगे
ऐसी बातें किया न करो
आज जाने की ज़िद न करो ।।
तुम ही सोचो ज़रा क्यूं न रोकें तुम्हें
जान जाती है जब उठ के जाते हो तुम -2
तुम को अपनी क़सम जान-ए-जां...
बात इतनी মেरी मान लो
आज जाने की ज़िद न करो,
यूं ही पहलू में बैठे रहो
आज जाने की ज़िद न करो ।।
वक़्त की क़ैद में ज़िंदगी है मगर
चंद घड़ियां यही हैं जो आज़ाद हैं -2
इन को खो कर मिरी जान-ए-जां ...
उम्र-भर ना तरसते रहो।।
आज जाने की ज़िद न करो ।
कितना मासूम रंगीन है ये समां
हुस्न और इश्क़ की आज मेराज है
कल की किस को ख़बर जान-ए-जां...
रोक लो आज की रात को
आज जाने की ज़िद न करो,
यूं ही पहलू में बैठे रहो -2
आज जाने की ज़िद न करो ।।

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-jaan
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 gharriyan yahi hain jo aazaad hain
chand gharriyan yahi hain jo aazaad hain
inko khho kar kaheen jaan-e-jaan
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 meraj hai
husn aur ishq ki aaj meraj hai
kal ki kis ko khabar jaan-e-jaan
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

Magnificent!!! Her taans and murkis are all priceless. The Mangeshkars as a family are a class apart. Asha ji's rendition of the ghazal : roodad e mohabat kya kahiye also in raag yaman is another outstanding piece of singing.

@nirmalyabanik1952

I was only 15-16 years when I first time heard this song in Asha jis voice.. with this beautiful picturization... really, I could remember those days. Days are simple, less complicated, less stressful.

He's a Pakistani who have been killing the pilgrimage in Jammu and katra.
What kind of love are you wishing these pakistani musalmaan.?
Are they worth it?
They had terrorized the state of kashmir for decades.
Do you mean love for these terrorists?
