Kahin Tum Apni Qismat Ka Likha Tabdeel Kar Lete

Kahin tum apni qismat ka likha tabdeel kar lete,
To shayad hum bhi apna raasta tabdeel kar lete,

Agar hum waaqai kam-hausla hote mohabbat mein,
Maraz badhne se pahle hi dawa tabdeel kar lete,

tumhaare saath chalne par jo dil raazi nahin hota,
Bahut pahle hum apna faisla tabdeel kar lete,

Tumhein in mausamon ki kya khabar milti agar hum bhi,
Ghutan ke khauf se aab o hawa tabdeel kar lete,

Tumhaari tarah jeene ka hunar aata to phir shayad,
Makaan apna wahi rakhte pata tabdeel kar lete,

Wahi kirdaar hain taaza kahani mein jo pahle bhi,
Kabhi chehra kabhi apni qaba tabdeel kar lete,

Judaai bhi na hoti zindagi bhi sahl ho jaati,
Jo hum ek dusre se mas'ala tabdeel kar lete,

Hamesha ki tarah is baar bhi hum bol uthe warna,
Gawaahi dene waale waqia tabdeel kar lete,

Bahut dhundhla gaya yaadon ki rim-jhim mein dil-e-saada,
Wo mil jaata to hum ye aaina tabdeel kar lete.!!
