what will be, will be.
This proverb means:"Que sera sera"."What
is to happen will happen." It is decided
by fate.
The literal meaning is:
daane daane pe: on every grain
likha hai: is written
khane wale: the person who will eat
ka: of
naam: name.
In other words, "on every grain is written the name of the person who will eat it." Fate has already
decided who will eat a particular
grain of rice, and we cannot change it.
An event which is destined to
occur will certainly occur.
Hope this helps.

Every grain has written on it the name of the person who is destined to eat it.
This is an idiom in Hindi language. It shows a fatalistic view that suggests everything depends on destiny and no man can change it.
