Waqt Lyrics English Translation – Paradox
(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Hmm Mhm Hmm
Hmm, mhm, hmm.
Ae Waqt Theher Jaa Zara Abhi Unse Na Milna Hua
Oh time, please pause for a moment; I haven’t met them yet.
Thodi Yaadein Reh Gayi, Thodi Baatein Reh Gayi
Some memories remain, and some conversations are still unfinished.
Jaane Kya Raaton Me Raha
Who knows what these nights have held?
Ae Waqt Theher Jaa Zara Abhi Unse Na Milna Hua
Oh time, please pause for a moment; I haven’t met them yet.
Thodi Yaadein Reh Gayi, Thodi Baatein Reh Gayi
Some memories remain, and some conversations are still unfinished.
Jaane Kya Raaton Me Raha
Who knows what these nights have held?
Ae Waqt Theher Jaa Zara Abhi Unko Main Padh Na Saka
Oh time, please pause for a moment; I couldn’t understand them completely.
Thodi Yaadein Reh Gayi, Thodi Baatein Reh Gayi
Some memories remain, and some conversations are still unfinished.
Jaane Kya Aankho Ne Kaha
Who knows what the eyes were trying to say?
Aankho Ne Kaha Tha Aankho Se Ki Baatein Karte Rahenge
The eyes had promised each other that they would keep communicating.
Zubaan Tumhaari Aankho Ne Di Thi To Tauheen Na Karo
Your eyes had given their word, so don’t dishonor that promise.
Nikal Jaate Hain Aaj Bhi, Unhi Raahon Pe Raaton Me
Even today, I wander along those same paths at night.
Pata Hai Nahi Miloge Tum
I know I won’t find you there.
Kya Karein? Hain Shaukeen Aakrosh!
What can I do? I’m drawn to this outburst of frustration!
Kaash Roz Tumhe Bata Diya Hota
If only I had told you every day
Ki Nashe Ne Nahi Tumhaare Intezaar Ne Mera Ye Haal Kiya Hai
That it wasn’t intoxication, but waiting for you that brought me to this state.
Kaash Roz Tumse Tumhaara Haal Puchhne Ke Saath Saath
If only, every day, along with asking how you were,
Bata Diya Hota Ki Mera Bhi Haal Kya Hai
I had also told you what I was going through.
Kaash, Tum Samajh Paate Ki Sawaal The
If only you could have understood that there were questions,
Par Fikr Thi Unke Peechhe
But behind them was genuine concern.
Kaash, Tum Jawaab Me Bas Itna Keh Dete
If only you had simply said in reply
Ki Sawaal Pasand Nahi The Tumhe!
That you didn’t like being asked questions!
Ae Waqt Theher Jaa Zara Abhi Unse Na Milna Hua
Oh time, please pause for a moment; I haven’t met them yet.
Thodi Yaadein Reh Gayi, Thodi Baatein Reh Gayi
Some memories remain, and some conversations are still unfinished.
Jaane Kya Raaton Me Raha
Who knows what these nights have held?
Ae Waqt Theher Jaa Zara, Abhi Unko Main Padh Na Saka
Oh time, please pause for a moment; I still couldn’t figure them out.
Thodi Yaadein Reh Gayi, Thodi Baatein Reh Gayi
Some memories remain, and some conversations are still unfinished.
Jaane Kya Aankho Ne Kaha
Who knows what the eyes were trying to say?
Keh To Diya Tha Magar Nibhaana Kaise Hai Pata Nahi Tha Shayad
I had said the words, but perhaps I didn’t know how to live up to them.
Seh To Liya Tha Magar Sawaarna Kaise Hai Pata Nahi Tha Shayad
I had endured it all, but perhaps I didn’t know how to put things back together.
Shayad, Soch Liya Tha Ki Hum,
Perhaps I had assumed that we
Tum Aur Main Se Zyada Kareeb The Mere
Were closer to me than the distinction between you and me could explain.
Lekin Tum Aur Main Kaafi Alag The
But you and I were quite different from each other.
Pata Nahi Tha Shayad
Perhaps I didn’t know that.
Maana Rihaayi Maine Khud Hi Se Dedi Thi Tumhe
I admit, I had set you free on my own.
Lekin Tum To Jaadugar The Na
But you were a magician, weren’t you?
Tum To Mutthi Me Ret Thaamna Bhi Jaante The
You even knew how to hold sand in your fist.
Haan Main Naadaan Tha
Yes, I was naive.
Lekin Meri Naadaani Tum Sambhaal Nahi Paaye
But you couldn’t handle my innocence.
Kyun? Tum To Sab Sambhaalna Jaante The!
Why? You knew how to handle everything, didn’t you?
Ae Waqt Theher Jaa Zara, Abhi Unse Na Milna Hua
Oh time, please pause for a moment; I haven’t met them yet.
Thodi Yaadein, Thodi Baatein
Some memories, some conversations.
Jaane Kya Aankho Ne Kaha
Who knows what the eyes were trying to say?
(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
