क्या गुनह क्या जुर्म क्या तक़्सीर मेरी क्या ख़ता बन गया जो इस तरह हक़ में मिरे जल्लाद तू
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

What sin, crime, fault, or mistake of mine caused you to become such an executioner toward me?

Explanation

Here, the lover cries out in utter disbelief and heartbreak, piling up words for wrongdoing—gunah, jurm, taqseer, and khata—to desperately ask what possible mistake could warrant such punishment. The beloved, who was supposed to be a sanctuary of tenderness, has inexplicably turned into a heartless executioner. It vividly captures the agonizing helplessness of being devastated by the cruelty of someone you adore, leaving you searching yourself for a fault that likely never existed.
