waqt meharbaan hai waqt meharbaan hai
waqt meharbaan hai waqt meharbaan hai
waqt meharbaan hai waqt meharbaan hai
dilo ka imtehan hai dilo ka imtehan hai
dilo ka imtehan hai dilo ka imtehan hai
waqt meharbaan hai waqt meharbaan hai
waqt meharbaan hai waqt meharbaan hai
waqt meharbaan hai waqt meharbaan hai

saji hai bajme nazi chhide huye hai sajhi
saji hai bajme nazi chhide huye hai sajhi
zaban pe dil ka razi nazar hai dil nabasi
kabhi nazar milake pi kabhi nazar jhuka ke pi
dikha ke pee chhupa ke pi magar karib aake pi
behak gaya to dar gayi kisi ko kuchh khabar nahi
karib bhi sehal nahi ke raat abhi jawan hai
waqt meharbaan hai waqt meharbaan hai
waqt meharbaan hai

ye daur hai sabab ka sabab ka shrab ka
ye daur hai sabab ka sabab ka shrab ka
sawal ka jabab ka sirhana dhundh khwab ka
ke khwab ki ye titliya kabhi yaha kabhi waha
bhatak na jaye karwa kadam kaha nazar kaha
jaha bhi dil machal gaye sitare sab pighal gaye
naye chirag jal gaye zamin bhi aasman hai
waqt meharbaan hai waqt meharbaan hai
waqt meharbaan hai

Time, a gracious hand, time, a gracious hand,
Time, a gracious hand, time, a gracious hand,
Time, a gracious hand, time, a gracious hand,
Hearts' trial, hearts' trial,
Time, a gracious hand, time, a gracious hand,
Time, a gracious hand, time, a gracious hand,
Time, a gracious hand, time, a gracious hand.

A gathering adorned, secrets softly spun,
A gathering adorned, secrets softly spun,
The heart's whispered truth upon the tongue, the gaze, a heart's embrace,
Sometimes a glance, a sip, sometimes a lowered eye,
Revealed, concealed, yet drawing ever nigh,
If intoxicated, fear takes hold, none the wiser,
Closeness, not easy, for the night is young.
Time, a gracious hand, time, a gracious hand,
Time, a gracious hand.

This is the age of youth, of youth, of wine,
This is the age of youth, of youth, of wine,
Of question, of reply, of searching for dreams,
For these dream butterflies, here and there they roam,
Lest the caravan be lost, where are the steps, where the gaze?
Where hearts have danced, the stars have melted down,
New lamps ignited, the earth, the heavens intertwined.
Time, a gracious hand, time, a gracious hand,
Time, a gracious hand.
