(Zarb-e-Kaleem-016) Taqdeer

Taqdeer
Destiny

Na-Ahl Ko Hasil Hai Kabhi Quwwat-o-Jabroot
Hai Khwar Zamane Meinkabhi Johar-e-Zati

Oft men who donʹt deserve get might and main,
Anon a Personʹs gifts ungraced remain.

Shaid Koi Mantaq Ho Nihan Iss Ke Amal Mein
Taqdeer Nahin Tabe-e-Mantaq Nazar Ati

Perhaps some rules of Logic are concealed,
Mishaps that lie in wait are not revealed.

Haan, Aik Haqiqat Hai Ke Maloom Hai Sub Ko
Tareekh-e-Ummam Jis Ko Nahin Hum Se Chupati

There is a fact that all of us can know,
World annals much light on this matter throw.

‘Har Lehza Hai Qoumon Ke Amal Par Nazar Iss Ki
Burran Sift-e-Taeg-e-Do Paikar Nazar Iss Ki !’

Fate keeps its eye on what the nations do,
Like two‐edged sword can riddle through and through.
