Lyrics (language: Urdu)

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 gharriya'n yahi hain jo aazaad hain 
chand gharriya'n 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

Aaj Jaane Ki Zidd Na Karo

I take the ridiculous and the sublime, add cellos, violins, guitars and random internet collaborators to make music of sorts

Aaj Jaane Ki Zidd Na Karo
