Whatever is destined will happen, neither less nor more. What then is the meaning of desire, and why hold any longing or regret?

This couplet reflects a state of quiet surrender and peaceful acceptance of destiny. The poet gently asks: if what we receive in life is already preordained—not a drop less, nor a grain more—then why torment ourselves with endless wishes and the ache of unfulfilled longings? It invites us to drop the exhausting burden of desires and find stillness in trusting fate.
