4 Urdu couplets and shers with badalte
badalte: change
"Badalte" is the present participle form of the Hindi/Urdu verb "badalna," meaning "changing" or "transforming," often used to describe shifts in circumstances, relationships, or states. Unlike static descriptors like "badla hua" , it conveys ongoing flux. Differs from "badla" , focusing instead on evolution rather than retribution. In poetry, it evokes transient emotions, as in film songs lamenting "badalte rishte" .

hum ne pal bhar mein
naseebon ko badalte dekha
those enthroned in the morn
were declared criminals by dusk
we have, in a blink,
seen fortunes reversed
