Waqt se din aur raat

Kal jahaan basti thee khusiyaa
Aaj hai maatam vahaȧ
Waqt laayaa thaa bahaar
Waqt laayaa hai seejan

Waqt se din aur raat
Waqt se kal aur aaj
Waqt kee har shai gulaam
Waqt kaa har shai pe raaj

Waqt kee gardish se hai
Chaand taaro kaa nisaaṇ
Waqt kee ṭhokar me hai
Kyaa hukoomat kaa samaaj

Waqt kee paaband hai
Aatee jaatee raunke
Waqt hai phulo kee sej
Waqt hai kaȧto kaa taaj

Aadmee ko chaahiye
Waqt se ḍar kar rahe
Kaun jaane kis ghaṛee
Waqt kaa badle mizaaj

Time entangles everyone; the world is run by time. Everyone becomes a slave of time, but time rules all.

Everyone is bound in the circle of time, the moon, the stars, and all. Time filters everything, whether it be Laws or Society – time rules it all

Time rules, it is powerful, whether we are coming or going. Time is like a bed of roses, but it can also be a bed of thorns.

Man should seriously consider time, and, be cautious of time. Who knows at what time, which hour, time can change its route?

Waqt(1965); Mohammed Rafi
