Ruk jaa o albeli zaraa ruk jaa
Posted on: June 1, 2009
There are many songs that sound so nice once you listen to them. But all that effect is lost when one watches the picturisation, since the picturisation shows lack of imagination as well as lack of ability on the part of the movie makers. As a result, the movie, as well as the song is consigned to the dustbin of history.
Take this movie called “Khoj” (1971) for example. This movie is totally unknown for most fans. But once you listen to the songs, they are all perfectly decent songs. These songs deserved better fate and they would have fared better had they been part of some better movie.
This song “Rk jaa o albeli zaraa ruk jaa” is sung so nicely by Kishore Kumar. But it was picturised on Deepak Kumar and Farida Jalal. That says it. Even legendary singers like Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Rafi ( all these singers sang in this movie) could not save this hopeless movie.
This song sung by Kishore Kumar was written by Asad Bhopali. Usha Khanna was the music director.

Lyrics
ruk jaa
ruk jaa
o jaane jaan
ruk jaa
ruk jaa
o albeli zara ruk jaa
o albeli zara ruk jaa
ye jeth ki chanchal dhoop hai
tera mast achhoota roop hai
rang jal jaayega
paaon thak jaayenge
aaj tujhko uthaa loon baanhon me
ruk jaa o albeli zaraa ruk jaa
ruk jaa o albeli zaraa ruk jaa
haay jaldi jaldi chalne se
raahon me machalne se
thokar lag jayegi
o jaane jaan o jaane jaan
pyaar ka salaam le haath mera thaam le
manzil nazar aayegi
o jaane jaan o jaane jaan
aise akeli jaayegi kahaan
ruk jaa o albeli zaraa ruk jaa
o ruk jaa o albeli zaraa ruk jaa
haay
gaalon pe paseene ki
nanhi nanhi boondon ke
taare jhilmilaate hain
tauba hai ji tauba hai
udte huye gesoo bhi
kaliyon jaise hothon ko
choome chale jaate hain
tauba hai ji tauba hai
girti hai mere dil pe bijliyaan
ruk jaa o albeli zaraa ruk jaa
ruk jaa o albeli zaraa ruk jaa
haay haay
haathon ko jhatakne se
paaon ko patakne se
nahin koi faaydaa
naazneen o naazneen
dil ki baat kahnaa hai
saath saath rahnaa hai
diljalon ka kaaydaa hai
naazneen o naazneen
sunle tu mere dil ki daastaan
ruk jaa o albeli zaraa ruk jaa
o ruk jaa o albeli zaraa ruk jaa
ye jeth ki chanchal dhoop hai
tera mast achhota roop hai
rang jal jaayega
paaon thak jaayenge
aa tujko uthaa loon baahon mein
ruk jaa o albeli zara ruk jaa
ruk jaa o albeli zara ruk jaa

Kishore sang this so well… the picturisation does it no justice whatsoever! I agree with Bawa… there might be room for a ‘Wait’ song category…

well, to be fair to the newcomer hero of this movie, he looks better in his debut movie than the hero of “Saat Hindustaani” did in his debut movie at about the same time.

This Ruk Ja I didn’t know about.
The 2 Ruk jaas that came to mind are Ruk ja o janewale ru k ja, and ruk jana o jana hamse do batein.
If there are any more maybe there could be a new category of “Wait” songs.
