Agar Main Chala Jaun:

“Log jaate nahi… bas waqt unhe humse dheere dheere chheen leta hai…
Aur jo reh jaata hai, woh sirf yaadein nahi hoti…
woh ek aisa dard hota hai jo muskurahat ke peeche bhi ro deta hai…”

– Zulfikar Inamdar

“Agar Main Chala Jaaun…”

Arz kiya hai…

Agar main duniya se chala jaaun, to jaane dena…
Meri khamoshi ko apni dua samajh ke seh lene dena…
Na koi shor machana, na koi ilzaam rakhna,
Bas mere jaane ke baad bhi mujhe apna keh lene dena…

Main wo insaan tha jo har roz toot kar bhi muskurata raha,
Andar hi andar hazaaron zakhm chhupata raha…
Log samajhte rahe main sab theek hoon,
Par har raat main khud se hi ladta raha…

Agar main chala jaaun, to mujhe rokna mat…
Jo safar adhura reh gaya, usse tokna mat…
Shayad main thak chuka hoon apne hi wajood se,
Ab aur bojh apni rooh par dhona mat…

Meri yaadon ko zara dheere se rakhna dil mein,
Jaise baarish ki boond reh jaati hai kisi khidki ke sill mein…
Na woh shor karti hai, na hi poori tarah jaati hai,
Bas apni nami se sab kuch keh jaati hai…

Kabhi jo tanhayi tumhe gher le raaton mein,
Aur hawa dheere se tumse baatein kare jazbaaton mein…
Samajh lena main kahin door nahi gaya,
Bas tumhare ehsaas mein hi reh gaya…

Agar main chala jaaun, to mujhe azaad kar dena…
Meri rooh ko bas thoda sa sukoon de dena…
Main har kisi ke liye jeeta raha zindagi bhar,
Ab apne liye bhi kabhi chain le lene dena…

Na main gila karunga, na shikayat rahengi,
Bas kuch adhoori si yaadein reh jaayengi…
Jo kabhi kabhi tumhe chupke se rulayengi,
Aur phir dheere se tumhe mere paas le aayengi…

Agar main chala jaaun, to jaane dena…
Par mujhe apni yaadon ke shehar mein rehne dena…
Na main poora tha, na main kabhi poora ho saka,
Bas ek adhoora sa safar tha… jo kabhi khatam ho kar bhi khatam na ho saka…
