hai sal-e-nau ki aamad har shakhs ki khushi hai
kya rang laega ye is ki nahin khabar kuchh

main jaanta hun zalim teri ye dil-lagi hai
dil mein nahin kisi ke jo maut ka khatar kuchh

ai waqt-e-be-murawwat ai waqt-e-be-murawwat
aalam ka lahza lahza mein haal kya se kya hai

muflis abhi tha koi masnad-nashin abhi hai
jita koi abhi tha ab dafn ho raha hai

zalim kabhi rifaqat tu ne kisi ki ki hai
ai waqt-e-be-murawwat ai waqt-e-be-murawwat

kahna kisi ghadi ko apna ghalat sarasar
aalam jise hain kahte taghir ka hai maskan

tujh ko agar main samjhun thahra ghalat sarasar
zalim laga hua hai tujh mein bala ka engine

ai waqt-e-be-murawwat ai waqt-e-be-murawwat
the khar-zar jis ja hai bulbulon ka maskan

allah kis ghazab ke har aan hain ye phere
thin mahfilen jahan par hai bekason ka madfan

ye hathkande hain tere ye hathkande hain tere
ai waqt-e-be-murawwat ai waqt-e-be-murawwat
