Kuchh Apni Hi Naseeb Ki Khoobi Thi Baad-e-marg — Momin Khan Momin
Meaning
It was some grace of my own fortune that after my death, the tumult of my rivals' love for her finally diminished.
Explanation
The poet speaks with gentle irony about his own fortune. He notices that only after his death did the commotion of his rivals' love quiet down. In life, he was surrounded by people competing for the beloved's attention, and that noise never seemed to stop. It took his passing for things to finally settle. There's a bittersweet humor here, as if he's saying, what a strange kind of luck is mine, that peace came only when I was gone. It reflects the loneliness of loving someone surrounded by others, and the quiet resignation of a heart that found calm too late.
