Aaj Jane Ki Zid Na Karo
Farida Khanum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
यूँ ही पहलु में बैठे रहो
यूँ ही पहलु में बैठे रहो
आज जाने की ज़िद ना कर
हाय मर जाएंगे
हम तो लुट जाएंगे
ऐसी बातें किया ना करो
आज जाने की ज़िद ना करो
क्यूँ ना रोकें तुम्हें
जान जाती है जब
उठ के जाते हो तुम
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
चंद घड़ियां यही हैं जो आज़ाद है
इनको खो कर मेरी जानेजाँ
उम्र भर ना तरसते रहो
आज जाने की ज़िद ना करो
In Farida Khanum's timeless classic "Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo", the singer pleads with her lover not to leave just yet. In the first verse, she tells him to sit with her and not insist on leaving, because they will be destroyed and will lose everything. She implores him not to talk of leaving, because she wants him to stay with her. In the second verse, she asks him to please think about stopping himself from leaving, because she knows that he will leave after getting up. She also tells him to believe her when she swears that she will never ask him to stay again. In the final verse, she speaks about the fleeting nature of life and how they should make the most of the free moments they have left. She asks him not to leave her starved for the rest of her life, and to stay with her for as long as they can.
The lyrics of "Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo" are an example of the enduring theme of separation and longing in Urdu poetry, known as "Ghazal". They are characterized by a deep sense of loss and pain, as well as an acceptance of the inevitability of losing the one you love. The song has been covered by a number of artists, including Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and has become an anthem for lovers and romantics alike. One reason for its lasting popularity is the way that it evokes universal feelings of longing and nostalgia, even for people who may not understand the language.

आज जाने की ज़िद ना करो
Don't insist on leaving today
यूँ ही पहलु में बैठे रहो
Just sit with me like this
हाय मर जाएंगे हम तो लुट जाएंगे
We will die and be ruined
ऐसी बातें किया ना करो
Don't say such things
तुम ही सोचो ज़रा क्यूँ ना रोकें तुम्हें
You should think, why shouldn't I stop you
जान जाती है जब उठ के जाते हो तुम
When you get up to leave, my life is taken away
तुमको अपनी क़सम जानेजां बात इतनी मेरी मान लो
Swear by your life, accept my words
वक़्त की कैद में ज़िन्दगी है मगर चंद घड़ियां यही हैं जो आज़ाद हैं
Life is imprisoned by time, but there are some moments that are free
इनको खो कर मेरी जानेजाँ उम्र भर ना तरसते रहो
Don't pine for these moments once they are gone

@farihajinan431
tonight, don’t insist on leaving.
keep on sitting close to me like you are.
tonight, don’t insist on leaving.
oh I will die, I will be lost,
don’t say such things.
tonight, don’t insist on leaving.
just think for a moment, why should I not stop you.
my life seems to leave my body when you get up and go,
I swear to you, my beloved
just agree to this request of mine
tonight, don’t insist on leaving.
life is trapped in the prison of time
but these are the few moments that are free
by losing them, my beloved
let’s not have a life of regret
tonight, don’t insist on leaving
what an innocent, colorful weather it is.
it is the peak of beauty and love today.
who knows what will happen tomorrow,
let’s stop this night, tonight,
tonight, don’t insist on leaving.

आज जाने की जिद ना करो
यूँ ही पहलू में बैठे रहो
हाए, मर जायेंगे हम तो लुट जायेंगे
ऐसी बातें किया ना करो
तुम ही सोचो जरा क्यों ना रोके तुम्हें
जान जाती है जब उठके जाते हो तुम
तुमको अपनी कसम, जान-ए-जां
बात इतनी मेरी मान लो
वक्त की कैद में जिंदगी है मगर
चंद घड़ियाँ हैं यही जो आज़ाद है
इनको खोकर मेरी जान-ए-जां
उम्रभर ना तरसते रहो
कितना मासूम संगीन है समां
हुस्न और इश्क की आज मेराज है
कल की किसको खबर जान-ए-जां
रोक लो आजकी रात को
