Who has found 4 perfect days? किसको मिले हैं ? Kis ko milay hain?

मर्ज़ी किसी से वक़्त ने पूछी कहाँ कभी
किसको मिले हैं अपनी तबीयत के चार दिन ?

Marzi kisi say vaqt nay poochhi kahaan kabhi
Kis ko milay hain apni tabeeyat kay char din ?

                                ~~ ~~ ~~

Time never asks anyone what they want - what is their heart's desire.
Is there anyone who has enjoyed four perfect days of his choice?
~~ ~~ ~~

Note:
In Indian culture, 'Four days' is a symbol of the total lifespan of humans.
1. Bachpan = Childhood
2. Jawaani = Youth
3. Adhaid = Mature, Middle age
4. Vridh or Budhaapa = Old age

All Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu poets of India and Pakistan use this metaphoric expression of four days to represent a whole life.

न समझे थे न समझेंगे Na samjhay thay Na samjhengay (Neither understood - Never will)

न समझे थे कभी जो - और कभी न समझेंगे  उनको बार बार समझाने से क्या फ़ायदा  समंदर तो खारा है - और खारा ही रहेगा  उसमें शक्कर मिलाने से क्या फ़ायद...
