Evening


शाम

Unknown

कोई वादा ना कर, कोई इरादा ना कर
ख्वाहिशों में खदु को आधा ना कर
ये देगी उतना ही
जितना लिख दिया खुदा ने
इस तकदीर से उम्मीद ज़्यादा ना कर।।
जिन्दगी की हर सुबह
कुछ शर्ते देके आती है
और जिन्दगी की हर शाम
कुछ तर्जुबे देके जाती है

Evening

tr. by Tejas Gupta

Have no promises, have no intentions
Waste not after your desires
You will be given
as much God has written
Do not have more faith than this fate.
Every morning of life
comes with conditions.
And every evening of life
leaves with experiences.

A literal transliteration

Do not have promises, nor intentions
Do not become half broken chasing after your desires
You will be given exactly as much as God has written.
Do not have more faith than this fact. Or Have no more faith than this fact.
Every morning of life
Comes with trifles/difficulties/circumstances
And every evening of life
Leaves with some lesson/experience
