Khamosh Qeemat:

Jo log mehfilo me kam Nazar aate hai
Aksar wahi log tanhaiyon me sab se gehri kahani likhte hai

– Zulfikar Inamdar

Khamosh Qeemat:

Mai kisika pasandida nahi hu,
Mai kisiko mila to bhi theek, nahi mila to bhi theek.
Na kisi ki mehfil ka sitara bana,
Na kisi ki zindagi ka sabse kareeb.

Logon ki bheed me aksar tanha sa raha hu mai,
Jaise samandar me kho gaya koi sahil ho.
Sab dekhte rahe chehre ki muskurahat ko,
Kisi ne na samjha andar kitna mushkil ho.

Kuch log meri zindagi me aaye bhi to aise,
Jaise hawa ka jhonka aakar chala jaata hai.
Dil ne har baar rokna chaha unhe,
Magar naseeb ka raasta alag ho jaata hai.

Kabhi socha ke shayad kami mujh me hi hogi,
Tabhi koi mujhe apna nahi kehta.
Phir waqt ne dheere se samjhaya mujhe,
Har sach ko har insaan nahi samajhta.

Mai khamoshi ko apni zubaan bana kar jeeta hu,
Na shikwa kisi se, na gila kisi se.
Jo mil gaya use bhi muskurakar dekha,
Jo kho gaya uska bhi hisaab nahi kisi se.

Ajeeb dastaan hai meri bhi ae zindagi,
Na poori khushi mili na poora gham mila.
Jise dil se chaha woh dur hi raha,
Jise paaya usme woh ehsaas kam mila.

Magar dil ke kisi kone me ye yaqeen bhi hai,
Ke meri kahani bhi kabhi samjhi jayegi.
Aaj jo log mujhe nazarandaaz karte hain,
Kal meri khamoshi bhi dastaan ban jayegi.

Aur aakhir me Zulfi ne bas itna kaha mehfil me,
Ke har insaan ka muqaddar alag likha hota hai.
Koi mehfilon me bhi tanha reh jaata hai,
Aur koi tanhai me bhi sabka hota hai.

Aur sabse aakhri sher:

Aaj agar mai kisi ki pasand nahi hu to kya hua,
Waqt ka faisla bhi ajeeb hota hai.
Kal jab meri kahani sunoge tum log,
To shayad kehna pade —
“Yaar… Zulfi jaisa insaan naseeb walon ko hi naseeb hota hai.” 🌙🌹

Kabhi kisi ki pasand na ban sake to gham kya hai,
“Zulfi” kuch log qeemti itne hote hain ke har kisi ko samajh nahi aate. 🌙
