Fans and critics often cite "Waqt" as a "revolutionary" song that defined the sound of early-2000s Pakistani rock. Its music video was directed by the band's guitarist, Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan (Xulfi) .
The lyrics explore the concept of breaking through temporal barriers to fulfill one's destiny.
Typical of EP's style, the track uses dark, melancholy themes, such as "Andheron mein bhee, Ik roshnee thee" (Even in the darkness, there was a light). Contextual Significance
Irtiqa is regarded as the first mainstream concept album in Pakistan, and "Waqt" is a critical piece of that narrative.
