gunah

gunāh kyā hai

savāb kyuuñ hai

savāb kī lazzateñ haiñ kaisī

gunah kā bhārī azaab kyā hai

mujhe to ye bhī ḳhabar nahīñ hai

gunāh āḳhir gunāh kyuuñ hai

kahāñ se phūTā hai us kā chashma

kisī pahāḌī se jharnā ban kar girā hai nīche

zamīñ ke dil par

ki jalte hoñToñ kā dukh bujhāne umaD paḌā hai

ḳhud us kī apnī hī chhātiyoñ se

ye reg-zāroñ kī aarzū hai

yā phir samundar kī aabrū hai

jahāñ se bādal javānī chaḌhtā hai

āsmānoñ kī

paanī kyā hai

ye jo pahāḌoñ pe jhūmtā hai

sulagte sūraj ko chūmtā hai

do-chār lamhe pahāḌ siine pe jhuum lenā

sulagte sūraj ko chuum lenā

gunāh kyuuñ hai

savāb kyā hai!

gunah kya hai

sawab kyun hai

sawab ki lazzaten hain kaisi

gunah ka bhaari azab kya hai

mujhe to ye bhi KHabar nahin hai

gunah aaKHir gunah kyun hai

kahan se phuTa hai us ka chashma

kisi pahaDi se jharna ban kar gira hai niche

zamin ke dil par

ki jalte honTon ka dukh bujhane umaD paDa hai

KHud us ki apni hi chhatiyon se

ye reg-zaron ki aarzu hai

ya phir samundar ki aabru hai

jahan se baadal jawani chaDhta hai

aasmanon ki

pani kya hai

ye jo pahaDon pe jhumta hai

sulagte suraj ko chumta hai

do-chaar lamhe pahaD sine pe jhum lena

sulagte suraj ko chum lena

gunah kyun hai

sawab kya hai!
