Khuda Ko Kam To Saunpe Hain Main Ne Sab Lekin / Rahe Hai Khauf Mujhe — Mir Taqi Mir
ख़ुदा को काम तो सौंपे हैं मैं ने सब लेकिन
रहे है ख़ौफ़ मुझे वाँ की बे-नियाज़ी का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
I have entrusted everything to God, but I still fear the instability of the world.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the complex relationship between faith and fear. The poet declares that he has entrusted his life's duties and fate entirely to God. Yet, despite this complete surrender, he admits a lingering anxiety—a fear of the uncertainty, or the unpredictable nature, of divine will. It’s a beautiful paradox: complete trust, yet persistent doubt.
