Jo Kuchh Ki Hua Hum Se Wo Kis Tarah Na Hota — Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq
Meaning
Whatever happened at my hands, how could it not have happened? O Zauq, it was the decree of eternity, already settled thus beforehand.
Explanation
Here Zauq reflects on fate with gentle acceptance. He says, whatever happened through me, how could it have been otherwise? It was always meant to be this way. The decree of destiny, written before the beginning of time, had already been settled long ago. So why blame himself, or anyone, for what unfolded? There was no other path. This couplet carries a soft surrender to the idea that some things are decided beyond our control. It brings a kind of peace, a release from guilt and regret, by trusting that life moved exactly as it was written to move.
