The Story Behind Qismat
Qismat is the title theme for HUM TV's 2019 serial about Soha, a confident young woman whose choices are squeezed by love, marriage, and family pressure. Arshman Khan sings the compact OST and shares its lyric writing with Abhay Tripathi, while Sohail Hyder serves as music director. Their work gives the drama's central idea a direct musical form: the solo vocal makes fate feel personal, as if Soha were weighing desire against duties imposed by others. HUM TV released the song ahead of the serial, with Minal Khan and Faizan Khawaja leading the cast. In September 2019, Diva Magazine included Qismat among the Pakistani drama soundtracks its editors had been enjoying and singled out its memorable lyrics. The concise arrangement lets the title thought carry the emotional weight.
Meaning & Translation
Qismat means fate or destiny, especially the portion of life understood as already written for someone. Here the word frames love as a struggle between personal choice and circumstances that seem fixed. The central refrain treats destiny not as cheerful luck, but as an explanation for distance, sacrifice, and uncertainty. The voice still longs for love, yet the path forward appears to be shaped by family duties and decisions made by other people. That reading mirrors Soha's predicament in the drama, where her own desires collide with marriage and social expectations. The song leaves hope and resignation side by side, asking whether love can survive when fate seems to have chosen first.
