19 Urdu ash'ar / shaayari (shers, couplets) containing the word:
waqt: time
1 / 19: waqt
shaam ko jis waqt khaali haath
ghar jaata huun main
muskuraa dete hain bachche
aur mar jaata 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

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

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

tab ham donon
waqt churaa kar laate the
ab milte hain
jab bhi fursat hoti hai
once, we stole time
to be with each other
now, we only meet
only if leisure permits

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

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
par
waqt kum
the story of love
is long
but…
time is short

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

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 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

life is indeed
a strange riddle

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

yazid-e-waqt hua
jis ghaDi se takht-nasheen
hamaare naam ke khanjar
har ik mein baaTne lage
the moment the tyrant
of our times ascended the throne
daggers bearing my name
began to be distributed to all

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
river

crossover
cross over, get off

waqt hai ab
namaaz-e-maghrib ka
chaand rukh, lab shafaq hai
gesu shaam
it is time for
evening prayers
moon is your face, your lips the twilight blush
your tresses the dusk

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 karta hai
parvarish barson
haadsa ek dam
naheen hota
time nurtures

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
