vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai, vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai
vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai, vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai
vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai, vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai
ho rahega jo hone vaala hai, jo hone vaala hai
vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai, vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai
vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai, vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai

din to ye bhi guzar jaayega par ye lamha guzarta nahi
aag hi aag hi aag hai phir kyun suraj pighalta nahi
daag dhone se jaate nahi dard rone se ghatataa nahi
vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai, vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai
vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai, vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai

nind me saas lete to hai khvaab jaage to mar jaate hai
bebasi hai badi bebasi apne saaye se dar jaate hai
kaun kisase shikayat kare
kaun kisase shikayat kare jo likha hai vo mitataa nahi
vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai, vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai
ho rahega jo hone vaala hai, jo hone vaala hai
vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai, vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai
vaqt ka saaya kisne taala hai, ho rahega jo hone vaala hai

Whose hand can stay the shadow of time's flight?
Whose hand can stay the shadow of time's flight?
Whose hand can stay the shadow of time's flight?
What is destined, it shall be alight.
Whose hand can stay the shadow of time's flight?
Whose hand can stay the shadow of time's flight?

This day too, it shall surely wane, yet this moment, it cannot depart.
Fire, only fire, and still the sun does not melt its own heart.
Stains don't fade with the washing, nor grief lessen with a tear's art.
Whose hand can stay the shadow of time's flight?
Whose hand can stay the shadow of time's flight?

In slumber, we breathe, but in dreams awake, we fall apart.
Helplessness, a vast helplessness, fearing even our own heart's dark art.
To whom can one complain, to whom can one impart?
What is written, it cannot be erased, it cannot restart.
Whose hand can stay the shadow of time's flight?
What is destined, it shall be alight.
Whose hand can stay the shadow of time's flight?
Whose hand can stay the shadow of time's flight?
What is destined, it shall be alight.
