आता भी अगर है तो वो फिर जाए है उल्टा जिस वक़्त उलट जाए है तक़दीर किसी की
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

When someone's fortune is reversed, even if someone comes, they turn right back around and leave.

Explanation

Here, the poet captures the bitter helplessness of bad luck with a touch of quiet irony. The charm lies in the play between fate turning upside down and the beloved turning right back around—just when happiness arrives at the doorstep, destiny pulls it away. It speaks deeply to that heartbreaking feeling where even on your luckiest day, misfortune finds a way to steal your joy at the very last second.
