In my opinion 'Kudarat khuda ki hai' here implies that she is the creation of God.
ReplyDeleteThat's fine Sharma ji. I chose a short word, 'Divine' which has various meanings,including: "Proceeding from God", Nature, etc. Qudrat-e-Khuda can also mean Power of Almighty/God. Thanks for your comments Sharma ji.
DeleteThank you Nasir Saheb.I have a very little knowledge of Urdu. Please tell me what they mean when they say Subhan Teri Kudrat
DeleteThere may be several ways to translate Subhaan teree qudrat! I prefer to say: Glorified be Your Power!
