“Main cheekh kar nahi jeeta…
Main khamosh reh kar itna ucha utha ke awaaz ki zarurat hi nahi rahi.” 🔥🌹

“I didn’t become powerful by speaking louder…
I became unstoppable by mastering my silence.” 🌹

– Zulfikar Inamdar

“Khamoshi Ka Urooj”

Arz kiya hai… ke…

Main ne apni awaaz buland nahi ki…
Main khamosh ho gaya,
Aur isi khamoshi mein mujhe apni asal taqat mili.

Ek waqt tha jab main khud ko samjhana chahta tha,
Logon ko apni ahmiyat batana chahta tha,
Lekin ab samajh aa gaya hai…
Har sach ko bayan karna zaroori nahi hota.

Maine woh toofan dekhe hain jo kisi ne nahi dekhe,
Woh jang ladi hai jo kabhi sunaai nahi di,
Magar phir bhi… main toot kar bhi khud ko jodta raha.

Na inteqaam ki zarurat, na kuch sabit karne ka shauq,
Kyun ke asli taqat cheekhti nahi…
Woh khamoshi mein chalti hai.

Shayad log kabhi na samajh paayein mera safar,
Woh raaten jahan main bikhar gaya,
Aur woh din jahan main dobara bana.

Magar koi baat nahi…
Har kahani sunane ke liye nahi hoti.

Ab na main tawajju chahta hoon,
Na kisi ki tasdeeq,
Main bas sukoon ke saath jeena seekh gaya hoon.

Aur ajeeb hai duniya ka rawaiya,
Jo kabhi nazar andaaz karte thay,
Aaj khamoshi se dekh rahe hain… samajhne ki koshish mein.

Magar ab na main rukta hoon, na samjhata hoon, na badalta hoon,
Kyun ke jab khamoshi urooj par hoti hai…
toh woh har awaaz se zyada buland ho jaati hai.

“The Rise of Silence”

I didn’t grow louder… I grew quieter,
And in that silence, I found a strength deeper than noise.

There was a time I tried to explain myself,
Tried to make people understand my worth,
But now I’ve learned…
Not every truth needs an audience.

I’ve walked through storms no one ever saw,
Fought battles that never made a sound,
And still… I stood back up, stronger than before.

No need for revenge, no urge to prove,
Because real power doesn’t shout… it moves in silence.

They may never understand my journey,
The nights I broke down… the days I rebuilt myself,
But that’s okay —
Not every story is meant to be told.

Now I don’t chase attention,
I don’t run after approval,
I walk with peace… steady, unshaken.

And the same world that once ignored me,
Now watches quietly… trying to read what I’ve become.

But I don’t react, I don’t explain, I don’t stop,
Because when silence rises…
it becomes louder than any voice ever could.

“Jinhe humari qadar nahi thi, unke liye hum rukte nahi…
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.” 🔥

– Zulfikar Inamdar

“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…

“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.

“Insaan ki asli keemat tab samajh aati hai,
jab woh mehfil me nahi… yaadon me reh jaata hai.” 🌹

“A person’s true value is not realized in their presence,
but in the silence they leave behind.” 🌹

“Waqt Ke Saaye”

Arz kiya hai… ke…

Bade bure lag rahe hai aaj hum majlis ke saamne,
Kal tak jo hum par fakr karte the, aaj woh hi hume pehchaan ne se anjaane…

Wahi mehfil, wahi log, wahi roshni ka samaa,
Bas ek cheez badal gayi — hamari ahmiyat ka maqam…

Apna waqt nikal gaya to koyi poochta nahi,
Wahi log jo kabhi kehte the — “tum ho to mehfil hai”…
Aaj hum ho kar bhi unke liye kuch bhi nahi…

Kabhi hamari ek awaaz pe log ruk jaate the,
Aaj hum khamosh bhi ho jaayein… to kisi ko farq nahi padta…

Dil yeh soch kar toot sa jaata hai…
Ke humne jinhe apni duniya samjha,
Unhone hume sirf apne “waqt ka hissa” samjha…

Sach ye hai…
Rishta tab tak hi gehra lagta hai,
Jab tak usme “zarurat” zinda hoti hai…

Aur jab zarurat mar jaaye na…
To sabse pehle “lehja” badalta hai,
Phir “nazar”,
Aur aakhir me… “log” bhi badal jaate hain…

Magar ae dil… udaas mat ho,
Yeh waqt hai… yeh bhi guzar jaayega…

Aaj agar hum gir gaye hai unki nazron me,
Kal wahi nazrein phir se uthenge hume dhoondne ke liye…

Kyunki…
Waqt kisi ka nahi hota,
Magar waqt sabka hisaab zaroor karta hai…

English Version:

Title: “Shadows of Time”

Today, I stand in the same gathering… yet I feel like I don’t belong,
The very people who once took pride in me… now act like I was never one of them.

The same faces, the same place, the same lights all around,
Only one thing has changed — my worth in their eyes has been quietly torn down.

Once my presence was enough to light up the room,
Now even my silence fades… unnoticed in the gloom.

When my time passed, no one cared to ask,
Those who once said “you are everything”… now treat me like a thing of the past.

There was a time when people paused just to hear me speak,
Today, even my absence doesn’t make their world feel weak.

It breaks something inside… a quiet, painful truth,
That the ones I called “my world”… only needed me for a phase of their use.

The truth is harsh… but clear as the sky,
Relationships often live… only until their needs don’t die.

And when the need fades away…
First the tone changes,
Then the eyes,
And eventually… the people themselves walk away.

But my heart… don’t drown in this pain,
Time never stays the same — it shifts, it turns again.

Today I may have fallen in their sight,
But tomorrow… those same eyes may search for me in the light.

Because time belongs to no one,
Yet it settles every score, one day… for sure.

“Insaan tab nahi badalta jab usse dard hota hai…
insaan tab badalta hai jab dard sehne ki aadat ho jaati hai.”

– Zulfikar Inamdar

Title: “Hansi… Jo Sirf Chehre Tak Thi (Part 3):”

Arz kiya hai ke…

Ab toh aadat si ho gayi hai…
andar se toot kar bhi, bahar se theek dikhne ki…

Pehle dard hota tha…
ab bas ek khaali pan sa reh gaya hai…
jaise sab kuch mehsoos karne ki taaqat hi khatam ho gayi ho…

Kabhi kabhi lagta hai…
hum khud se hi door ho gaye hain…
woh jo asli “hum” the,
shayad kahin raste mein hi chhoot gaye…

Ab na kisi se shikayat rehti hai,
na kisi se umeed…
kyunki samajh aa gaya hai —
jitni kam umeedein hoti hain, utna kam insaan tootta hai…

Raat ab sirf neend ke liye nahi hoti,
raat toh ab sochne ke liye hoti hai…
un baaton ke liye, jo kabhi keh nahi paaye…
un logon ke liye, jo kabhi samajh nahi paaye…

Aur sabse ajeeb baat pata hai…
ab aansu bhi kam ho gaye hain…
shayad dil itna bhar gaya hai dard se,
ke ab usse halka hone ka bhi mann nahi karta…

Log aaj bhi kehte hain —
“tum badal gaye ho…”
Aur hum bas muskura dete hain…
kyunki unhe kaise batayein,
ke badle nahi hain… bas toot kar chup ho gaye hain…

Ab bas itna hi sach hai…
na kisi ka intezaar hai,
na kisi ka intezaar karne ki himmat…

Hansi ab bhi hai…
magar sirf chehre tak…
kyunki dil ne toh kab ka khud se rishta tod diya hai… 💔

“Kuch log theek hone ka naatak itni khoobsurti se karte hain…
ke unka tootna kabhi kisi ko nazar hi nahi aata.”

– Zulfikar Inamdar

“Hansi… Jo Sirf Chehre Tak Thi (Part 2)”

Arz kiya hai… ke…

Kabhi kabhi na…
insaan itna toot chuka hota hai,
ke usse apni hi awaaz parayi lagne lagti hai…

Woh bolta toh hai…
magar har lafz ke peeche ek chup si cheekh hoti hai…

Hum bhi waise hi ho gaye hain…
na poori tarah ro paate hain,
na poori tarah hans paate hain…

Bas ek aadat si ban gayi hai —
logon ke saamne theek rehne ki,
aur khud se akela padte hi bikhar jaane ki…

Kabhi socha hai…
jo insaan sabko hasata hai,
wo khud kitni raaton tak chup chaap rota hoga…?

Humne bhi koshish ki thi…
apna dard kisi ko samjhane ki,
magar log sirf itna hi keh paaye —
“tum toh hamesha haste rehte ho…”

Us din samajh aa gaya…
ke kuch kahaniyaan sirf mehsoos ki jaati hain,
sunayi nahi jaati…

Aur sach toh yeh hai…
ab darr lagta hai kisi ke kareeb jaane se,
kyunki jitna zyada apna lagta hai koi,
utna hi gehra chhod jaata hai…

Isliye ab humne seekh liya hai…
hansi ko chehre tak rakhna,
aur dard ko dil ke andar hi dafan kar dena…

Taaki koi pooche bhi —
“Toh kaise ho?”
toh hum bas muskura kar keh sakein…
“Main theek hoon…” 💔

Har hansi khushi ki nishani nahi hoti…
kabhi kabhi woh sirf dard chhupane ki aadat hoti hai

– Zulfikar Inamdar

“Hansi… Jo Sirf Chehre Tak Thi” (Part 1):

Arz kiya hai…

Kya khoob kaha kisine…
log haste haste apni aankhon se aansu nikaal lete hain,
jaise dard sirf ek lamha ho… ek guzarta hua ehsaas…

Magar hum…
hum woh log hain jo apne seene mein
dard ka poora samandar chhupa kar jeete hain…

Humari hansi bhi ajeeb hoti hai,
chehre pe chamakti hai…
magar andar hi andar dil ko cheer jaati hai…

Log samajhte hain hum khush hain,
kyunki hum ro kar awaaz nahi karte…
par unhe kya pata…
hum toh haste haste hi chup chaap bikhar jaate hain…

Unke aansu girte hain toh duniya dekh leti hai,
hamari aankhen bhi kabhi bhar aati hain…
par hum palkon ko hi samjha dete hain —
“abhi girne ka waqt nahi…”

Sach yeh hai…
kuch log dard ko lafzon mein bayaan kar dete hain,
aur kuch log…
dard ko apni rooh ka hissa bana kar jee lete hain…

Aur phir ek din aisa aata hai…
jab hansi bhi saath chhod deti hai,
aur insaan sirf zinda reh jaata hai… jeeta nahi… 💔

“Har alvida shor se nahi hoti…
kuch khamoshiyan zindagi bhar goonjti rehti hain…”

– Zulfikar Inamdar

Khamosh Jhalak:

Arz kiya hai ke…

Ek jhalak dekh lena mujhko… phir aaraam se chale jaana,
Main awaaz nahi dunga… tum bas palat ke na dekhna…

Na mohabbat ka zikr hoga, na nafrat ka koi sawal,
Jo bhi hai tumhare dil mein… usey chup rehne dena…

Main rukne ko kahunga bhi nahi…
Tum theharne ka vaada bhi mat karna…

Kaun rehta hai kisi ke liye yahan umr bhar,
Sab ko aana hai… aur ek din yun hi chale jaana…

Tum gaye toh shor nahi hoga kahin,
Bas ek khali-pan hoga… jo dheere dheere rooh tak utar jaana…

Main dheere dheere khud se bhi door ho jaunga,
Jaise koi yaad waqt ke saath dhundhli ho jaana…

Tum… kisi aur ki duniya mein muskura lena,
Aur mujhe… apni purani kahani samajh ke bhool jaana…

Agar kabhi yaad aaun… toh yaad ko bhi rok lena,
Kyunki kuch log sirf dard banke hi laut paate hain…

Mujhe dhoondhne ki koshish bhi mat karna kabhi,
Main mil bhi gaya… toh pehchaan mein nahi aana…

Bas aaj… agar mumkin ho, ek baar dekh lena mujhe,
Phir main bhi khamoshi se… apni kahani mita jaana…

Aur tum…
Jaise kabhi the hi nahi hum… waise hi jeete rehna…

“Kuch mohabbatein milkar nahi…
kho kar mukammal hoti hain.”

– Zulfikar Inamdar

“Bas Ek Nazar”

Arz kiya hai ke…

Ek jhalak dekh lena mujhko… phir chahe hamesha ke liye chale jaana,
Main rukne ki zid nahi karunga… bas itna sa karz chuka jaana…

Chahe tumhare dil mein mere liye mohabbat ki roshni baaki ho,
Ya nafrat ke andheron ne sab kuch mita diya ho… mujhe bata jaana…

Main ne kab kaha ke tum meri zindagi ban jao,
Bas itna chaha tha… ke kabhi mujhe yaad kar ke muskura jaana…

Ab toh aadat si ho gayi hai tanha rehne ki mujhe,
Tum aaye the ek baar… bas utna hi kaafi samajh jaana…

Kaun aaya hai yahan kisi ke liye hamesha theharne,
Sab ko ek din kisi na kisi mod pe chhoot hi jaana…

Magar kuch log dil mein yun bas jaate hain chupke se,
Ke unke jaane ke baad bhi unhe roz jee kar bhool na paana…

Main toot kar bhi tumhe baddua nahi de sakta,
Bas itni si dua hai… ke tumhe kabhi mera sa na khona pade… yeh samajh jaana…

Agar kabhi meri kami mehsoos ho… toh palat kar mat aana,
Kyunki us waqt tak main khud ko kahin khamoshi mein dafan kar chuka honga…

Toh aaj jo lamha hai… use bekaar mat jaane dena,
Ek jhalak dekh lena mujhko… phir chahe hamesha ke liye bhool jaana…

“Mohabbat tab toot’ti hai,
Jab saamne wala block nahi karta…
Bas dekhna hi chhod deta hai.”

– Zulfikar Inamdar

Pehchaan Kar Bhi Anjaan

Arz kiya hai ke…

“Wo mujhe dekh rahi hogi…”
ye soch kar main Truecaller kholta hoon…
Jaise meri zindagi ka koi hissa ab bhi uski screen par zinda ho.

Par haqeeqat itni khamosh hai ke
Uski nazar ab mere naam tak bhi nahi pohochti…
Aur main… ab bhi uske ehsaas se bahar nahi aa paata.

Kabhi meri ek missed call par wo bechain ho jaati thi,
Aaj meri hazaar koshishen bhi
Uske dil tak ek vibration nahi bhej paati.

Main aaj bhi uska naam search karta hoon,
Jaise kisi purani kitaab mein
Apni hi kahaani ka adhoora safha dhoond raha hoon…

Har unknown number mein uski awaaz dhoondhta hoon,
Har ring par dil umeed se bhar jaata hai…
Aur har baar jab wo nahi hoti,
Toh lagta hai zindagi ne phir se mazaak kar diya.

Kabhi kabhi sochta hoon…
Agar wo achanak saamne aa jaaye,
Toh kya wo rukegi…?
Ya phir pehchaan kar bhi anjaan ban jaayegi…

Aur main…
Phir bhi us ek nazar ko apni zindagi samajh lunga.

“Jab insaan khud se mohabbat karna seekh leta hai,
to duniya ki har kami chhoti lagne lagti hai…
kyuki usse apni keemat samajh aa jaati hai.”

– Zulfikar Inamdar

“Khud Se Mulaqat — (Jab Insaan Khud Se Mohabbat Karna Seekh Leta Hai):”

Arz kiya hai… ke…

Kabhi kabhi zindagi itni door le jaati hai…
Ke insaan khud ko dhoondhne nahi,
Khud ko paane lagta hai.

Main wahi hoon…
Jo kabhi khud se bhaagta tha,
Jo har dard se chhupna chahta tha,
Jo har baar toot kar khud ko hi dosh deta tha.

Par aaj… kuch badal gaya hai.

Na duniya badli hai…
Na log…
Na kismat.

Badla hoon to bas main…
Aur ye badlav dheere nahi,
Andar se aaya hai.

Ab main khud se ladta nahi…
Main khud ko samajhta hoon.

Ab main apni kamiyaan chhupata nahi…
Main unhe apna leta hoon.

Kyuki ab mujhe samajh aa gaya hai —
jo insaan apni kamiyaan qabool kar leta hai,
wo kisi aur ke faislon se kabhi nahi toot’ta.

Main ab perfect hone ki koshish nahi karta,
Main real rehne ki himmat karta hoon.

Haan, mujhe dard hua tha…
Aur bohot gehra hua tha…
Par ab wo dard meri kamzori nahi,
Meri pehchaan ban gaya hai.

Ab main kisi ke jaane se khud ko khone nahi deta,
Aur kisi ke aane se khud ko badalne nahi deta.

Ab main kisi ka intezaar nahi karta…
Kyuki mujhe pata hai —
jo mujhe samjhega, wo khud chal kar aayega…
Aur jo nahi samjhega, uske liye main rukunga nahi.

Kabhi kabhi aaj bhi tanha baithta hoon…
Par ab wo tanhaayi dard nahi deti…
Wo mujhe mere kareeb le aati hai.

Main apne aap se baat karta hoon…
Aur pehli baar, mujhe apni hi baatein achi lagti hain.

Main khud ko dheere se kehta hoon —

“Tu ab badal gaya hai…
Par galat nahi hua.

Tu ab akela hai…
Par tanha nahi hai.

Tu ab toot’tā nahi…
Tu samajhta hai.”

Aur phir ek ajeeb si sukoon milta hai…
Jaise dil ne khud ko finally accept kar liya ho.

Ab mujhe kisi saboot ki zarurat nahi…
Na kisi tasdeeq ki…
Na kisi ki tasalli ki.

Kyuki ab main jaanta hoon —
main kaafi hoon.

Aur sach bataun bhai…
Jis din insaan ye samajh leta hai na,
Us din uski zindagi badalti nahi…
Us din wo khud badal jaata hai.

Kabhi kabhi to mera khud se milne ka dil karta…
Aur ab jab milta hoon,
To khud se pyaar ho jaata hai.

Aur main muskura kar kehta hoon —

“Shukriya…
Mujhe chhod kar bhi…
Mera intezaar karne ke liye.”
