Indicating that an event is inevitable and will happen eventually.
文化的背景
In social gatherings, using this phrase shows that you are a person of 'Gumbhirta' (depth/seriousness). It avoids the flippancy of quick promises. The phrase is a classic 'dialogue' trope used by heroes to signal an inevitable comeback. It resonates with the audience's belief in poetic justice. Modern entrepreneurs use this to maintain morale during the 'valley of death' phase of a business, reflecting a mix of global business logic and local fatalism. Parents often use this to reassure children about marriage or career milestones, emphasizing that things happen when they are meant to happen.
Use 'Waqt' for Poetry

Don't use for bad news
Be careful using this for someone's death or a tragedy; it can sound like you were waiting for it to happen.
