Kahin Tum Apni Qismat Ka Likha Tabdil Kar Lete

Saleem Kausar

kahin tum apni qismat ka likha tabdil kar lete

to shayad ham bhi apna rasta tabdil kar lete

agar ham vaqai kam-hausla hote mohabbat men

maraz badhne se pahle hi dava tabdil kar lete

tumhare saath chalne par jo dil raazi nahin hota

bahut pahle ham apna faisla tabdil kar lete

tumhen in mausamon ki kya khabar milti agar ham bhi

ghutan ke khauf se aab o hava tabdil kar lete

tumhari tarah jiine ka hunar aata to phir shayad

makan apna vahi rakhte pata tabdil kar lete

vahi kirdar hain taaza kahani men jo pahle bhi

kabhi chehra kabhi apni qaba tabdil kar lete

judai bhi na hoti zindagi bhi sahl ho jaati

jo ham ik dusre se masala tabdil kar lete

hamesha ki tarah is baar bhi ham bol uthe varna

gavahi dene vaale vaqia tabdil kar lete

bahut dhundla gaya yadon ki rim-jhim men dil-e-sada

vo mil jaata to ham ye aina tabdil kar lete
