Soch kar jurm-e-muhabbat ki sazaa do hum ko - Ehsan Danish




Na siyo honth, na khwabon mein sadaa do hum ko

Hum hakeekat hain to tasleem na karne ka sabab
Haan agar harf-e-ghalat hain to mita do hum ko

Shorish-e-ishq mein, husn baraabar hai shareek
Soch kar jurm-e-muhabbat ki sazaa do hum ko

Maqsad-e-jeest gham-e-ishq sahra ho ke shaher
Baith jaaeinge jahaan chaaho bitha do hum ko

Such understanding would greatly diminish Shakespeare�s role. Shakespeare wa...
