2 Urdu couplets and shers with baab
baab(m): door
Description of baab: Baab is an Urdu word meaning "door," "gate," or "chapter," often denoting a portal or section in literature. Unlike physical barriers that block passage, baab symbolizes transition, inviting entry into new realms of knowledge or narrative. Differs from "darwaza," which specifies an actual entrance, as baab carries abstract connotations of division or beginning. In Urdu poetry, it evokes mystical thresholds, like doors to divine love in Sufi verse by Ghalib.

taa qayaamat khula hai
baab-e-sukhan
the path to fresh ideas
is never sealed shut
the door to new expression
is open till doomsday

milta faqat hai
zauq-e-tajassus ke baab mein
don’t you forget, 'shahed',
that the pleasures of life
are found only at the doorstep
of the joy of curiosity
