Kya Jur.aten Jo Ham Ko Darban Tumhara Toke — Dagh Dehlvi
क्या जुरअतें जो हम को दरबाँ तुम्हारा टोके
कह दो कि ये तो जाने-पहचाने आदमी हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
How dare your gatekeeper stop me? Just tell him that I am a familiar person.
Explanation
There is a delightful blend of playful entitlement and tender vulnerability in this couplet. In classical poetry, the gatekeeper is a familiar obstacle, but here the lover dismisses him with endearing confidence, urging the beloved to simply claim him as their own. Beneath the lighthearted complaint lies a touching plea—to not be treated as an outsider, but to have their shared intimacy acknowledged.
