kal jahaa.n bastee thee.n Khushiyaa.n,
IN THE PAST WHERE HAPPINESS HAD THRIVED,
aaj hai maatam wahaa.n,
THERE THE MOURNING RENDS THE AIR TODAY,
waqt laaya thaah bahaare.n,

NOW THE TIME HAS BROUGHT AUTUMN AND DECAY,
waqt se din aur raat,
THE NIGHT AND THE DAY EXIST BECAUSE OF TIME
waqt se kal aur aaj,
THE FUTURE AND THE PRESENT ADHERES TO TIME,
waqt kee har shay ghulaam,
ALL THINGS ARE SUBSERVIENT TO TIME,
waqt ka har shay par raaj,
LORDING OVER ALL THINGS, ‘TIS THE TIME,

THE NIGHT AND THE DAY EXIST BECAUSE OF TIME
waqt se kal aur aaj,
THE FUTURE AND THE PRESENT ADHERES TO TIME,
waqt kee har shay ghulaam,

It is authentically reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra ) that the Prophet (sallal laahu ‘alaihi wassallam) said: "Allah (swt ), Most Blessed, Most High, says: "The son of Adam wrongs Me: He curses time, though I am time: In My Hands are all things and I cause the night to follow the day." 2 In another narration, He (sallal laahu ‘alaihi wassallam ) says: "Do not curse time, for verily, time is Allah (swt)."
