लिखा करे कोई अहकाम-ए-ताला-ए-मौलूद
किसे ख़बर है कि वाँ जुम्बिश-ए-क़लम क्या है
— Mirza Ghalib
Meaning
Let anyone write the horoscope and decrees of destiny for a newborn, but who truly knows how the pen of fate moves in that divine realm?
Explanation
Ghalib gently smiles at our human habit of trying to calculate and predict the future. Astrologers may draw elaborate charts and horoscopes for a newborn child, but no mortal can ever truly know how the Divine Pen moves across the canvas of destiny. It is a humble and poignant reminder that the true workings of fate remain a sacred mystery far beyond human reach.
