“Main shor se bhaaga nahi… main us se upar uth gaya,
– Zulfikar Inamdar
Aur us khamoshi mein mujhe meri asal pehchaan mil gayi.” 🔥🌹
“I didn’t escape the noise… I rose above it,
And in that silence, I found my true self.” 🌹
“Shor Se Upar”
Arz kiya hai ke…
Main ab un tamam mehfilon ke shor se upar uth chuka hoon,
Kyun ke asal safar kabhi bahar nahi tha… woh hamesha mere andar tha.
Ek waqt tha jab har awaaz ahmiyat rakhti thi, har baat dil pe asar karti thi,
Lekin ab samajh aa gaya hai… har lafz itna zaroori nahi hota.
Maine logon ko badalte dekha hai, rishton ko dheere dheere bikharte dekha hai,
Wohi alfaaz jo kabhi marham thay… aaj zakham ban gaye.
Magar maine reaction ke bajaye sabr ko chuna,
Aur har bekaar behas ke bajaye khamoshi ko apnaya.
Na koi inteqaam, na koi gila, na kuch sabit karne ki zarurat,
Kyun ke waqt khud sachai ko samne le aata hai.
Shayad woh kabhi samajh na paayein woh dard jo maine chup kar saha,
Woh tanha raatein… jahan main khud se ladta raha.
Magar yahi to khoobsurti hai upar uthne ki —
Apni taraqqi ka elaan nahi kiya jata,
Bas insaan un cheezon se aage nikal jata hai jise woh kabhi sab kuch samajhta tha.
Ab na main tasdeeq dhoondta hoon, na kisi ki manzoori,
Main bas sukoon, maqsad… aur apni zindagi jeene ki azadi chahta hoon.
Aur ajeeb hai zindagi ka rang,
Jo log kabhi bina dekhe guzar jaate thay,
Aaj door se dekh kar samajhne ki koshish kar rahe hain.
Magar ab na main rukta hoon, na mud kar dekhta hoon, na react karta hoon,
Kyun ke jab insaan waqai shor se upar uth jata hai…
toh uski khamoshi hi uska sab se bada asar ban jati hai.

English Version:
Beyond the Noise
It is requested:
I have moved beyond the noise of every room that once defined me,
Because the real journey was never outside… it was always within me.
There was a time when every voice mattered, every opinion stayed,
But now I’ve learned… not every word deserves to be weighed.
I’ve seen people change, felt bonds slowly fade,
Heard words that once healed… then quietly betrayed.
Yet I chose patience over reaction,
Silence over unnecessary distraction.
No revenge, no bitterness, nothing left to prove,
Because time reveals truths… without making a move.
They may never understand the pain I carried inside,
The sleepless nights… the battles I chose to hide.
But that’s the beauty of rising above —
You don’t announce your growth,
You simply outgrow what you once thought was love.
Now I don’t chase validation, nor do I seek approval,
I walk with peace… beyond judgment, beyond removal.
And funny how life turns around,
The same ones who ignored me without a sound,
Now notice me… from a distance they can’t cross.
But I don’t stop, I don’t turn back, I don’t react,
Because when you truly rise beyond the noise…
silence itself becomes your greatest impact.
