छोड़ा नहीं किसी को भी यलग़ार-ए-वक़्त ने Time’s relentless onslaught spares no one

बरपा किए वो दौरे ज़माने तग़य्युरात 
गाड़ी नई  थी जिसका खटारा बना दिया 

छोड़ा नहीं किसी को भी यलग़ार-ए-वक़्त ने 
आख़िर खजूर को भी छुआरा बना दिया 
                  (अनवर मसूद) 
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Barpaa kiye woh daur-e-zamane-taġayyurat 
Gaadi nayi thi jiska khataara banaa diya 

Chhoṛaa nahin kisi ko bhi yalġaar-e-vaqt nay 
Aakhir khajoor ko bhi chhuaara banaa diyaa 
                          (Anwar Masood)
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
               English Translation:

The ravages of time have wrought such changes and havoc 
A brand-new vehicle, now reduced to a wreck.

Time's relentless onslaught has spared no one;
In the end, even the fresh date was turned into a Chhuaara 
  (old and dried, dehydrated, wrinkled dates are called Chhuaara)
