I have a form which populates automatically by getting information from server, and by the time its polling the information. I am showing a loader.

But a user can anytime Cancel the polling request. So, I have to add a button for that canceling request next to Loader.

Can you please suggest what should be the "Label" for button, which cancel the polling?

We've used something like this in an app...

It makes it clear what you are loading and concisely describes what you're cancelling if you choose to click the link. Because it's not a typical action, we put that as a "link" as oppose to a physical button.

You can easily translate this to a progress bar like this:
