Pahle Chup-chap Mujhe Takta Raha Darwaza, Urdu Ghazal By Mohammad Ahmad Saqi

pahle chup-chap mujhe takta raha darwaza
junhi main jaane laga bol paDa darwaza

aaj tak bhul nahin paya main un tinon ko
wo mohalla wo gali aur tera darwaza

pahle hum donon baDi der talak hanste rahe
baat furqat ki chali rone laga darwaza

ek yahi baat samajh mein nahin aai ab tak
kyon palaT aaya tha main jab wo khula darwaza

main jahan dastaken deta raha diwar thi wo
aur jise samjha tha diwar wo tha darwaza

jaane kis shaKHs ne diwar pe dastak di hai
ki achanak hi wahan phuT paDa darwaza

ye wo dastak hai ki darwaza jise jaanta hai
KHud-ba-KHud yunhi nahin khulne laga darwaza

bad-hawasi ka ye aalam tha ki kuchh yaad na tha
aur to aur mujhe bhul gaya darwaza

kai darwaze nikal aate the darwaze se
aise lagta hai ki ab banjh hua darwaza

ek din bahs chhiDi maut haqiqat kya hai
kuchh ne diwar kaha kuchh ne kaha darwaza

raegan umr kaTi khul na saka raaz-e-hayat
zindagi KHatm hui tab ye khula darwaza

KHwab-e-ghaflat mein raha tauba ka aaya na KHayal
aur jab aankh khuli band hua darwaza

zabt itna bhi mere bas mein nahin tha 'ahmad'
habs jab had se baDha toD diya darwaza
