What is kismat nahbod?

Gosh, I am happy that you've asked.

It is a phrase in dari which means, 'it was not in our fate.' The opposite to kismat naseeb which translates roughly into 'whatever is our fate' or 'it is in our fate.' Depending on the context of the conversation.

— H.G. Wells, from a letter to Rebecca West written c. April 1913 (via violentwavesofemotion)
