1/15: waqt

main ne har baar tujhse milte waqt

tujhse milne ki aarzoo ki hai

tere jaane ke baad bhi main ne

teri khushbu se guftagu ki hai

whenever i met you

i yearned to meet you again

even after you left, i spoke

with your lingering fragrance

2/15: waqt

waqt ki aandhi mein bhi

roshni ka diya jalaata raha

mera qalam mera saathi

mera humraaz banta raha

even during the storms of time

i kept lighting the lamp of brightness

my pen remained my friend,

my confidant all through

rishte ko

waqt do

tajmahal duniya dekhi

give time for

your relationships

world has seen taj mahal

mumtaj did not

4/15: waqt

wo waqt guzar gaya

jab mujhe teri aarzoo thi

ab tu khuda bhi ban jaaye to

main sajda na karoon

that time has passed

when i pined for you

now, even if you become god

i will not bow to you

khoobsoorat hote hai

woh log

jo waqt aane par

waqt dete hai

beautiful

are those

who, when times are tough,

give us their time

waqt se lamha lamha

kheli hai

zindagi ik

ajab paheli hai

time unfolded

moment by moment

life is indeed

a strange riddle

7/15: waqt

sadiyon se zamaane ka

ye andaaz rahaa hai

saaya bhi juda ho gaya

jab waqt pada hai

for ages

it has been this way

even your shadow leaves

when bad times fall

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

8/15: waqt

waqt ne kiya

kya haseen sitam

tum rahe na tum

hum rahe na hum

what a beautiful tragedy

time has produced

you have not remained the same

nor have i remained myself

mohabbat ki dastaan

lambi hai

waqt kum

the story of love

is long

but…

time is short

10/15: waqt

aye rahbar-e-kaamil chalne

tayyaar to hoon par yaad rahe

us waqt mujhay bhatka dena

jab saamne manzil aa jaaye

oh perfect guide, i am on the

path to the beloved, but please

lead me astray

when the destination is near

waqt aane de

dikha denge tujhe, aye aasmaan

hum abhi se kyun bataayen

kya hamaare dil mein hai

let the time come and

i will show you, oh world

why should i tell you now

what’s in my heart

kaun Doobega

kise paar utarna hai, 'zafar'

faisla waqt ke dariya mein

utar kar hoga

who will drown, zafar, and

who will cross to the other side

that will be decided only

after diving into the river of time

13/15: waqt

shaam ko jis waqt khaalee haath

ghar jaataa huun main

muskuraa dete hain bachche

aur mar jaataa huun main

at the end of the day

when i return home, empty-handed

my kids make me smile

and i die a little inside

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

14/15: waqt

dosti kis se na thi

kis se mujhe pyaar na tha

jab bure waqt pe dekha to

koyi yaar na tha

i had enmity with none

nor was anyone dear to me

during bad times, i found

i had no friends around

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

15/15: waqt

sada aish dauraan

dikhaata naheen

gaya waqt phir

haath aata naheen

fun and pleasure

don't show time passing

and the time that's passed

never returns
