Urdu and Hindi poetry have a rich tradition of exploring the concept of time, known as “waqt” in both languages. In Hindi, the genre of “samay Kavita” delves into the multifaceted dimensions of time, often reflecting on its transient nature and the profound impact it leaves on human experiences. Poets express the fleeting moments of joy, sorrow, and the cyclical nature of life through eloquent verses, capturing the essence of time as a relentless force that shapes destinies. Time never stops and we are helpless before the giantness of time.
