“Meri Dastaan sunana” Zakir Khan at Spoken 2017 

Met Zakir bhai at airport once.. When I started approaching him.. he saw the look in my eyes & smiled.. He hugged & let me took a selfie! Such a humble person & the pride of Indore! Love you Zakir bhai! You are an inspiration to many!

Full poem from the video :- मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ बेअदब सा खुमार हूँ अब मुश्किलों से क्या डरूं मैं खुद केहर हज़ार हूँ मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ | ये ऊंच नीच से परे मज़ाल आँख में भरे मैं लड़ परा हूँ रात से मशाल हाथ में लिए। न सूर्य मेरे साथ है तो क्या नयी ये बात है वो शाम को ढल गया वो रात से ही डर गया। मैं तो जुगनुओं का यार हूँ मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ | अपने आप के भी पीछे खड़ा हूँ मैं जिंदगी कितना धीरे चला हूँ मैं मुझे जगाने जो और भी हसीं होके आते थे उन ख्वाबों को सच समझ कर सोया रहा हूँ मैं जिंदगी कितना धीरे चला हूँ मैं | बस का इंतज़ार करते हुए , मेट्रो में खड़े खड़े , रिक्शा में बैठे हुए , गहरे शुन्य में क्या देखते रहते हो | ग़ुम सा चेहरा लिए क्या सोचते रहते हो ? क्या खोया क्या पाया , का हिसाब नहीं लगा पाए इस बार भी | घर नहीं न जा पाए इस बार भी | क्या वो आग नहीं रही , न शोलों सा दहकता हूँ , रंग भी वही है , सब के जैसा ही महकता हूँ | एक आरसे से हूँ कश्ती को थामे भंवर में | तूफ़ान से भी ज्यादा साहिल से सेहरता हूँ | वो आग नहीं रही , शोलों सा दहकता हूँ | दिन रात मेहनत करने के बाद भी , गाला घोंट घोंट कर जीना , खाने का वक़्त तय नहीं , और काम बहुत ज्यादा। इज़्ज़त कम और पैसे उस से भी कम किसी पे भरोसा हो जाये ऐसा किसी में भी बात नहीं | ए खुदा तेरा बहुत कर्ज़ा है मेरे पर सब चुकाऊंगा बारी बारी से। मेरी जमीन तुमसे गहरी है याद रखना आसमां भी तुमसे ऊँचा होगा। ये जिंदगी एक मेला है जब तक अपनों के साथ है तब तक सब कुछ चमकदार है | जब हाथ छुटता है तब बहुत तन्हाई लगती है। कितना तनहा है ये शहर , तुम्हारी यादें तक नहीं है यहाँ। किसी ने पूछा कहा से आ रहे हो ? मैंने कहा बहुत दूर से। उसने पूछा जगह का नाम , मैंने कहा मेहनत। भूख देखी है , देखी है तिरस्कार करती आँखें , क़दमों से चल चल कर रास्तों को नाम बदलते देखा है, अपने टूटे हुए स्वाभिमान के साथ खुद को काम बदलते देखा है। देखी है नाउम्मीदी अपमान देखा है , न चाहते हुए भी माँ बाप का झुकता हुआ आत्मसम्मान देखा है , सपनो को टूटते हुए देखा है , अपनों को छूटते देखा है। हालत की बंज़र जमीन फड़के निकला हूँ बेफिक्र रहिये मैं शौहरत की धुप में नहीं जलूँगा। आप बस साथ बनाये रखियेगा , अभी तो मैं लम्बा चलूँगा। मेरे दो चार ख्वाब हैं , जिन्हे मैं आसमां से दूर चाहता हूँ , जिंदगी चाहे गुमनाम रहे, लेकिन मौत मैं मशहूर चाहता हूँ। सुनो मरने पे भी मत आजाना | मेरा सब बुरा भी कहना पर सब अच्छा भी बताना | मैं जब जाऊँ इस दुनिया से तब मेरी दास्ताँ सुनाना। ये भी बताना कि कैसे समंदर जीतने से पहले मैं हज़ारों बार छोटी छोटी नदियों से हरा था। वो घर वो जमीन दिखाना कोई मघरूर जो कहे तो शुरुआत में भी बताना। वो घर वो जमीन दिखाना कोई मघरूर जो कहे तो शुरुआत में भी बताना। बताना सफर कि दुष्वारियां मेरी, ताकि कोई जो मेरे जैसी जमीन से आये, उसके लिए नदी कि धार हमेशा छोटी ही रहे, और समंदर जीतने की ख्वाब उसकी आँखों से जाये न। पर उनसे कभी मेरी गलतियां भी मत छुपाना | कोई पूछे तो बता देना की किस दर्ज़े का नाकारा था | कह देना की झूठा था मैं , बताना कैसे जरुरत पर काम न आ सका मैं। वादें किये पर निभा न सका। इन्तेक़ाम सारे पूरे किये , पर इश्क़ अधूरे रहने दिए | बता देना सबको की मैं मतलबी बड़ा था, हर बड़े मुकाम पे तनहा ही खड़ा था। मेरा सब बुरा भी कहना , अच्छा भी सब बताना , मैं जब जाऊँ इस दुनिया से तब , मेरी दास्ताँ सुनाना।

This video is like my bhagvadgita, I come back and watch it everytime I feel low , everytime I need strength to fight, everytime I question my self worth.

He is smiling but deep down he is getting so emotional while narrating his life story.. zakir love ur story

30 min ki video or bilkul skip ni kiya Salute to you brother Parmatma har manokama poori kre🙏

"main ghamand karna chahta hun par mere pass option nahi hai" Wah bhai true 👍🏻

This is enough to know about him 6:06 , 7:53 , 11:21 , 14:46 , 17:29 , 19:29 , 21:00 , 23:33 , 24:57 , 27:43

11:07, maine ye video pehli baar 4 saal pehle dekha tha, uss time pe bhi touch hua tha, par 11:07 wali chiz aaj phir se suni, aur pata nahi ye na kuch zyada hi hit hogayi mujhe, socha likh doon thoda. Aab 3 diwali guzar chuki hai berozgari mein aur chauti bhi pass hi hai, bas aab dekh ke laga ki bas chauti diwali aane se pehle kuch ho jaye. Aysa nahi ki koshish nahi kar raha hoon, din raat lage hue hai un sab chizo ke piche jinse kuch ho jaye, kya hai na, bachpan se bade sapne dekhne ka shauk tha vo aab bhi hai bas aab asliyat dikh jaa rahi hai mere aur un sapno ki uchayi dekh kar, dar to bhut lagg raha hai, duniya jahan ke dost jitne bhi the mere sab kuch na kuch acha kar rahe hain, aur main ghar ke ek kone me baith ke laga hua hoon kuch bada karne ke umeed. Failure, ek example keh sakte ho tum mujhe abhi filhal, main vo jo abhi piche 1-2 saalo me 25+ exams dene ke baad bhi kisi me select nahi hua, mtlb ek bhi nahi. Haan malum hai ye shayad Kam hi honge unke comparison me jinka bhut acha hochuka ho, par mera abhi to nahi hua hai na. Mera hakk hai abhi apna rona dikhane ka, mujhe nahi pata aage kya likha hai mere jivan mein, par umeed maine bade ki hue hai aur mhnt bhi shayad uss layak hi kar raha hoon. Mujhe na vo log chutiya lagte hai jo kehte hai sapne bade mat dekho, apni aukat ke anusar dekho Jo tumhre liye sahi ho, mujhe nahi sochna chota, mujhe bada chaiye, aur main leke rahunga. Nahi karna mujhe apne sapne chote, jab tak ladh rahe hai tab tak ladnge apne bade sapne ke liye. Mujhe nahi pata mera wala time kab aayega par kabhi aaya to zaroor update kar dunga main. Agar isse kisi ne padha ho to take care of yourself buddy, I hope your dream comes true. 🖤✨

23:33 bhut dino baad Roya hu mea...!!! 😢 Jo Kuch bhi bola sidha Dil me laga...!!! ♥️ #YouAreTheBestBro

Kahin kahin paanch minute ke video ko teen baar skip karna padta hai, aur kahin aadha ghanta nikal jaata aur phir bhi kam lagta hai.

the way he said , "ghar nahi jaa paye na is baar bhi" , touched my heart 😍 at 15:00

I keep coming back to this video every now and then. Khushi mein, gham mein, it helps you always. Zyada proud aur khush ho toh ghamand ko neeche laana sikhata hai, aur gire hue aur toote hue ho toh uthne ki taakat deta hai. Thank you Zakir Khan! ♥️

I dont know how many times i have watched this interview #_Zakir_is_not_a_person #_he_is_an_emotion 🙏🙏

Completed this 29 mint. 38 seconds video in almost 1 and a half hour...amid tears,cries,inspiration and a glimmer of hope 😒 and one thing is, it really needs a lot courage to share all these stuff. Thanks :)

Sir plz don't cry , we all can see that u are trying not to cry while speaking your kavitas ...2 yrs ki berozgari and self confidence aapko itne aage le aayi hai 😃... We all love u sir ❤

"Gali ke kutte hai toh highway pe chale jaate hai na " 🙌 Loved it ❤️🌼 Zakir ✨

My favourite part about the video is the smiles on everyone's face. Shows the love we have for this man

Yaar...Dil chu liya. Aaj pata chala ki sakth chehre ke peeche bhi dard hota hai. Meri dua aapke sath hai. #sakthlaundiya

5:35 to 6:05 Damn!!! I felt it. Log hass rahe hai ye dikhata hai logo ne kabhi wo dard mehsoos hi nahi kiya hai. See how Zakir just becomes silent for few seconds when he was saying this. He was explaining the struggle he went through aur log hass rahe hai. Damn you guyz damn u!!

"Bade logon ke sath hota hai ye sab" is the biggest motivating line ever🤟

before watching this video zakir khan=a talented artist after watching this zakir khan=Respect man hats off

चलता रहूँगा पथ पर, चलने में माहिर बन जाऊंगा !! या तो मंजिल मिल जाएगी, या अच्छा मुसाफ़िर बन जाऊंगा !!

I love how he speaks from his heart..!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kitne hi logo ki kahani bayaan krdi bhai ne ❤❤❤

Zindagi kitni dheere Chala hu main.... Bhai Dil ko chhukr nhi Chhedkr nikl gyi ye baat

*My professor asked me to step out of the lecture as I was absent from 4 days,n truly speaking,I was absent bcz I didn't wanted to go due to depression.....I m jee aspirant....n felt very bad due to sir behaviour n thought that I will not go back to his class....In short I was I depression again....but after watching this video....I think,I have enough time n can do anything.....now I will restart....n win....Sahi Hain Bhai.....fod diya....*

Who ever is reading this "May you Believe in your dreams and see them happening in front of you"

For people who on a repeat viewing just wanna listen to the awesome poems. This is not for first time viewers.Just listen to the entire thing and how he beautifully interweaves each poem in his life story 8:05 Shunya pe Sawaar (He did not recite the entire poem though, but even this much is great) 11:19 Apne aap ke bhi piche khada hu mai (Sad and will hit hard) 14:39 Ghar nahi jaa paye na is baar bhi (one of my fav last lines) 17:28 Ab wo aag nahi rahi, na sholon sa dehekta hun (another beautiful last line in this poem) 19:29 Aye bade shehar tera bahut karza hai mujhpar 23:33 Abhi toh mai lamba chalunga! (Another one that hits right in the feels) 24:55 Do chaar khwaab jinhe mai aasmaa se duur chaahta hu 27:42 Meri daastaan sunana (Brilliant as always)

I literally cried , clapped and hooted at times .. this man has really struggled a lot and the way he hides his feelings with giving it a tinge of humour is something worth appreciation .. 👏👏

Bhaiiiiiii... Valentine's day ka gift........ de diya bhai...😍... Superbbbb bhai

Yaar, Kahaani mukhtsir kr di... 😭 Big respect n love.❤️❤️ Zakir Bhai...! From Pakistan. 🇵🇰

Only few can get him when he control his tears, his emotions while telling the poetries written by him.. salute to you.. you're my inspiration Zakir.. love uhh ❤️❤️

बहुत बढ़ियां , बेटा ! उम्र में छोटे हो पर आपने मुझे जीवन की सीख दी है । 👏👏

Aisey hi koi sakht launda nahi banta❤️

Shayad mera ye ek comment bheerd Mai kho jaega par fir bhi ye karna chahunga..... I don't know how to explain but zakhir bhai aapki vo shayari "Mai Apne AAP se bhi peechey khada hoon" struck a chord in my heart , Allah aapko or Barkat de....or shayad Mai bhi apni zindagi k kuch Inteqam pure kar pao ......

20 years down the line ..this will be very special

9:21 best thing ever said by someone❤️

For his videos, i need a “love” button 😍😍

Anchor is really a good listner :)

The pain which he showed in his words about how successful people have to struggle in their ongoing periods before getting to their Destination.. As someone said- The Journey matters more than the destination 👏👏👏 And being sakth in these periods plays a vital role..

You can just close your eyes and keep listening to him all day long without getting tired!

I was in my lowest when I saw this video. Was doubting my beliefs for life but thank you zakir khan for being born and telling the world that they can go through anything coz one day life will we will shine. God bless you zakir

I can see the pain of his past struggling life in his eyes....I just came here again to motivate myself..😶😶😶

ise kehte h ek sacha insan ....or ek sacha muslim..or ek sachaa INDIAN😗

You're my inspiration, Zakir. I hope to meet you once in life! You give me hope, courage and help me have faith. I come back here everytime I feel low.

Jaab bhi sunte h ankho me ansu ate h aor ausat lagta h ki yeh khudki he kahni h aap hamari zaban ho bhai ☺️👍

_Bhai apna warrior hai_ 💪

भूख देखी है, देखी हैं तिरस्कार करती आंखें, कदमों से चल चल कर, रास्तों को नाम बदलते देखा है, अपने टूटे हुए स्वाभिमान के साथ, खुद को काम बदलते देखा है, देखी है ना उम्मीदी, अपमान देखा है, ना चाहते हुए भी मा बाप का झुकता आत्मसम्मान देखा है, सपनों को टूटते देखा है, अपनों को छूटते देखा है, हालात की बंजर ज़मीन फाड़ कर निकला हूं, बेफिक्र रहिए मैं शौहरत की धूप में नहीं जलूंगा, आप बस साथ बनाए रखियेगा, अभी तो मैं लंबा चलूंगा। - ज़ाकिर खान

I love the attention he gets from his audience. Pin drop silence and 100 % attention....

Zakir, (Sir) you mentioned in mehfil u don't like called as Sir but I really wanted to give respect. I really want to say from the bottom of my heart You are The best person I ever seen in my life.God gives you more happiness , blessing. 🙏

Aap Hindu ho ya Musalman, diwali to diwali hoti hai. Awesome!!

Those who are struggling in life to get success or to reach somewhere where you are not able to then please watch this video,tjis will reflect your feelings and conditions as a berozgaar or a struggler and at the same time you will be truly inspired by this man and he is extraordinary 👌

This really hits hard and give goosebumps! It's the second time a Zakir Khan video made me cry ( after Papa preach me more video).

I m going from very difficult time but u made me strong .. you taught me k kuch h hi nhi khone ko to darr kis bat ka "main shunya p sawar hu "🖤🖤 you are my inspiration 🖤🖤 Thnku so much for sharing your "Daastaan "

1st time 30 mins vdo ko dekhane se ye Dar Lag raha tha kahin khatam na ho jaye!!! Zakir bhai Youngsters ki sahi pehchan ho aap! Bahut kuch sikha diya aapne

I cried watching you a lot, I've lived life but yours' was original! You're true, and memories were beloved!!

Watching it 4 times..! I just watch it everytime i feel low and depressed.

Chhote sahar ke logo ko sapne dekhne ka haq nhi… dekh bhi le to sapne sapno me hi rah jate hai.. but kuch zakir ke jaise log ise wrong sabit kr dete hai🙏🏻 I’m relate this story thank you for posting 🙌🏻

Such a great host, listener and has great patience

"Goosebumps"❤ in every line there is beautiful depth n soulful meaning.. zakir 😍

Your every words melts our heart.... Love u bro from Nepal 🇳🇵

What a masterpiece... This is so far his best interview/show available on the internet... He is the master of words, feeling and emotions... The way he makes things so simple and grounded... His storytelling is world-class... Btw... Kudos to host also... He did a good job by not interrupting Zakir unlike other host who wants to prove their point or skills or themselves 👍

Ye dislike karne walo ko jakir se kya problem hai itna inspirational banda hai har baat me gehrayi hai..... jakir ke kehne se ye dislike wale berojgar bande hai jinko kisi ki success se problem hai

Feel the pain beyond his words, Lots of respect for this man!

As of now, 258 people have disliked this video.It shows that we should not expect 100% people to be convinced by some idea. PERFECTION really doesn't exists.

Dil se respect h zakir k liye I am proud ki ase log hamare ass pass hh zinse hm sb bht kuch Sikh skhte hh .. m jb bhi low feel krti hu unme se ye ek h jinko m sunti hu hamesha .. love zakir so heart touching video....❤❤😌💯🙂🥺

Bhai, mood off ho toh bass yeh video aake dekhta hu... Your story is such an inspirational aur bhai se connect apna alag level ka hai!

I made a playlist named 'Beautiful' to save some of the most precious videos and co-incidentally most of them contains Zakir's videos...real fans of Zakir have a cosmic connection with him. 🤗

This guy must have some magical power. He can hypnotize anyone

I have seen this video more than 20 time or may be more than that. Whenever I feel low I came back to youTube and watch this. Also I cried many time times while watching this. I am commenting after 4years. And i will keep replying in the same thread whenever I watch it in future. 🥰😍

☺+😢=😊SAKHT Londa Aaj Emotional Ho gya Bhai👍

Zindagi se larhne ki ek wajah de gaye ho.. Zakir dil ko choo gaye ho.. #Zakirkhan

"Bhai aapne to rula diya, Pr bhut kuchh sikha diya Jivan k is safar me nya rah dikha dia". Thank you so much

Don't know how many times I listen this, just for to learn that be positive in bad times and always humble both in bad and good time... One more thing just love the way he talks

haath me laal dhaaga, ye bandaa kamaal hai yaar, May god bless u brother.

Dost banchuke Hain college Tak... Bass.... Universal Truth 🤝
