zarraa ..... gunaah hota naheeN

taaza ghazal ....

laazmi* hai gunaah hota naheeN
ab yahaaN par nibaah* hota naheeN

hum khayaaloN meiN jurm karte haiN
sochte haiN gawaah hota naheeN

poochh kehte wo kis garaz* se tujhe
aadmi mehr-o-maah* hota naheeN

haajateiN* sarkashi* se naadim* haiN
warna maiN uzr-khwaah* hota naheeN
