“Jinhe humari qadar nahi thi, unke liye hum rukte nahi…
– Zulfikar Inamdar
Aur jab hum badal jaate hain, to unki soch badalne par majboor kar dete hain.” 🔥
“I didn’t change to impress them…
I changed so I’d never need them to see my worth again.” 🔥
“Wapas Aane Ka Waqt”
Arz kiya hai ke…
Kal tak jo hume nazarandaaz karte the,
Aaj wahi log hamari taraf dekhne ki himmat jamaa kar rahe hain…
Waqt ne hume giraya zaroor tha,
Magar tootne nahi diya… sambhalna sikha diya…
Hum chup rahe… kyunki hume shor machana nahi aata,
Magar waqt ko jawab dena aata hai… bina kuch kahe…
Jab hum the… tab unhe hamari keemat samajh nahi aayi,
Aur jab hum badal gaye… tab unhe hamari kami samajh aayi…
Ab na shikayat hai, na gila hai kisi se,
Bas ek sukoon hai… ke humne khud ko paa liya hai…
Jo log kehte the — “tumhare bina bhi sab theek hai”,
Aaj wahi soch rahe hain — “shayad hum galat the…”
Magar ab farq nahi padta…
Kyunki ab hum wapas un raste pe nahi jaate,
Jahan apni hi keemat sabit karni padti thi…
Ab hum khud ki pehchaan ban chuke hain,
Aur jo khud ki pehchaan bana leta hai na…
Use duniya ignore nahi kar sakti…
Waqt ne hume giraya nahi… tarasha hai,
Aur ab jo hum bane hain…
Woh pehle se kahin zyada keemti hai…

English Version:
“The Return”
Those who once ignored me,
Now gather the courage just to look my way…
Time did knock me down,
But it never broke me — it taught me how to rise, stronger than yesterday.
I stayed silent… not because I had nothing to say,
But because I knew… time itself would answer, in its own way.
When I was there, they never saw my worth,
And now that I’ve changed… they finally feel my absence on this earth.
There are no complaints left, no bitterness inside,
Just a quiet peace… because I found myself on the other side.
The same people who once said, “we’re fine without you,”
Now stand in doubt… realizing what they lost was true.
But it doesn’t matter anymore…
Because I no longer walk the roads
Where I had to prove my value over and over before.
Now I’ve built my own identity, my own name,
And once you become that… the world can’t ignore your flame.
Time didn’t destroy me… it refined my soul,
And what I’ve become now… is far greater than what they used to know.
