"Change" is always a challenging one. Most directly, there's meyz "to become", which could be used in the sense of "to change into something / to become something". Regarding "change" itself, tiid "time" or vennesetiid "the winds of time" can refer to change. Klo "sand" also has associations with change and time.

More straightforwardly, mulhaan 'unchanging' can potentially be made into vomulhaan 'changing'.

Thanks for the context! In this case, you could say something like Kos fus do hindiil "Be (the) force of your own hopes/wishes". In this way you can avoid needing a word that specifically means "evolution" or "change".

I'm trying to fit it into 'be the evolution (change) you wish to see in the world.

Is this sentence structure correct: Meyz shaan hi hind koraav ko lein

Become the Inspiration you wish to see in the world. I know you don't use fin (The) all the time and Wah (to) seemed redundant because koraav means to see.
