Waish by Ghani Khan | The Philosophy of Fate vs. Nietzsche & Iqbal

Описание: Why does the same soil produce a Rose for one and a Weed for another? In this video, we explore Ghani Khan’s masterpiece "Waish" (Distribution), a profound poem on Fate (Qismat), Class Divide, and Divine Will. We compare Ghani Khan’s "Acceptance" with Nietzsche’s "Rebellion" and Iqbal’s "Struggle."
[The Poem: Waish by Ghani Khan]
باغ کښي څوک ګلاب شي، څوک شي سروي، څوک ورخارے
څوک د مېنځ غنچه شي، څوک کبل د غاړې غاړې
تاج د چا د زرو، د چا تاج شي د غمونو
وېش د بل په لاس وي، که ته خاندې او که ژاړې
[English Translation]
In the garden, some become the Rose, some the Cypress, and some the wild weed.
Some become the central blossom, others the common grass upon the banks.
For some, the crown is made of gold; for others, the crown is of sorrows.
The Division lies in Another's hands, whether you laugh or you weep.

Ghani Khan argues that our roles in life (Rose vs. Weed) are pre-assigned. This is not weakness; it is an "Ontological Honesty"—admitting that we do not choose where we are planted.

Philosophical Comparison:
1. Friedrich Nietzsche (The Rebel)
Nietzsche rejects the idea of accepting your place. He demands you overcome your nature.
• "You shall become the person you are."
(Source: The Gay Science, Aphorism 270)
• "Man is something that shall be overcome."
(Source: Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Prologue)
2. Ghani Khan (The Witness)
Ghani Khan observes the unfairness with a smile. He aligns with Nietzsche only at the very end—through Amor Fati (Loving one's Fate).
• "My formula for greatness in a human being is Amor Fati... Not merely bear what is necessary... but love it."
(Source: Nietzsche, Ecce Homo, Section 10)
3. Allama Iqbal (The Architect)
Iqbal views Fate not as a verdict, but as raw material for the Self (Khudi) to process.
