रुक जाओ न जी ऐसी क्या जल्दी
चुभ जायेगी पहलू में बिरहा की सुई हुई
रुक जाओ न जी ऐसी क्या जल्दी
चुभ जायेगी पहलू में बिरहा की सुई हुई
शाम ढली नहीं और चले तुम उठके सनम
यूँ न चलो इठलाके अजी तुम्हें मेरी क़सम
यूँ न चलो इठलाके अजी तुम्हें मेरी क़सम
देखो बलम यूँ न धाओ सितम
नाज़ुक हूँ मैं तो जैसी छुई मुई
रुक जाओ न जी ऐसी क्या जल्दी
चुभ जायेगी पहलू में बिरहा की सुई
हाय कहने की बात पड़ी है
ज़रा मुझे कहने तो दो
प्यार भरे मेरे दिल में है
क्या मुझे कहने तो दो
कहने की बात पड़ी है
ज़रा मुझे कहने तो दो
प्यार भरे मेरे दिल में है
क्या मुझे कहने तो दो
ठहरो पिया होश आ ले ज़रा
जब से तुम आये मैं हूँ खोई खोई
अरे अरे अरे
रुक जाओ न जी ऐसी क्या जल्दी
चुभ जायेगी पहलू में बिरहा की सुई
चाहत का बदला है ये क्या ज़रा सोचो सनम
मरते हैं हम नहीं तुम को पता ज़रा सोचो सनम
चाहत का बदला है ये क्या ज़रा सोचो सनम
मरते हैं हम नहीं तुम को पता ज़रा सोचो सनम
ठहरो ज़रा दिल न तोड़ो मेरा
ठुकराने वाले क्या सोचेगा कोई
हाय हाय हाय रुक जाओ न जी है ऐसी क्या जल्दी
चुभ जायेगी पहलू में बिरहा की सुइ एह
रुक जाओ न जी ऐसी क्या जल्दी
चुभ जायेगी पहलू में बिरहा की सुइ
Asha Bhosle's "Ruk Jao Na Jee" is a Hindi song with poignant lyrics that speak to the pain of separation and the urgency of reuniting with a loved one. The opening verses implore the beloved to pause and not rush away, warning that the needle of separation will prick in the embrace. The next stanza describes the singer's plea for the beloved not to leave at dusk, swearing upon the relationship they share. The refrain then urges the beloved not to torment the singer, who is already as delicate as a bruised flower, by leaving too quickly.
The middle section of the song is a plea for the beloved to listen to what the singer wants to say, to ask what is in her heart, and to stay a little longer so that the singer can find her footing. The final section is a warning to the beloved that the change in the relationship is not something to be taken lightly, and a plea for the beloved not to break her heart before turning her away. Throughout, the poetry uses a metaphor of sewing and stitching to convey the pain and finality of separation.
