Ruk Jaa Saathi
stop partner
Ruk Jaa Saathi, Ohhhh, Ruk Jaa Saathi
Chala Hai Akela Kahan?
where are you going all alone?
Milegi Na Manzil Koi, Yun Akele
you won't reach your destination if you are alone
Ruk Jaa Saathi
Ruk Jaa Saathi, Ohhhh, Ruk Jaa Saathi

Taar Se Taar Mile Nahin Jab Tak, Kya Nikle Jhankaar?
until a string strikes another string, there cannot be music
(so the lovers here are strings on a musical instrument, until the strings are plucked, one cannot create music)
Taar Se Taar Mile Nahin Jab Tak
Kya Nikle Jhankaar?
Tanha Tanha Kiya Na Jaaye, Kehte Hai Jis Ko Pyar
it cannot be done alone, that which they call love
Ruk Jaa Saathi
Chala Hai Akela Kahan?
Milegi Na Manzil Koi, Yun Akele
Ruk Jaa Saathi, Ohhhh, Ruk Jaa Saathi

Lehar Mile, Dhara Ban Jaaye
waves meet, become a stream
Dhara Mile, Do Sangam
streams meet, become two junctions
(sangam can mean union/ meeting, in this case since the poet is talking about water formations, sangam is the conflux/junction where two bodies of water become one)
Lehar Mile, Dhara Ban Jaaye
Dhara Mile, Do Sangam
Tu Aur Main Ka Farq Rahe Na, Aa Mil Jaye Hum
let there not remain any difference between you and me, let's become one
Ruk Jaa Saathi
Chala Hai Akela Kahan?
Milegi Na Manzil Koi, Yun Akele
Ruk Jaa Saathi, Ohhhh, Ruk Jaa Saathi

Saher Ke Baad Shaam Aati Hai
dawn comes after evening
Shaam, Saher Ke Baad
evening comes after dawn
Saher Ke Baad Shaam Aati Hai
Shaam, Saher Ke Baad
Shaam, Saher, Har Ek Pehar, Mujhe Aati Hai Teri Yaad
evening or dawn, every hour I remember you
(technically a pehar = 3 hours as there are 8 pehars in a 24 hour day, so she's remembering him every 3 hours)
Ruk Jaa Saathi
Chala Hai Akela Kahan?
Milegi Na Manzil Koi, Yun Akele
Ruk Jaa Saathi, Ohhhh, Ruk Jaa Saathi
