gunahgaar(m): sinner, offender

Description of gunahgaar: Gunahgaar is an Urdu word derived from Persian, meaning a sinner or guilty offender who commits moral or legal transgressions. Unlike a mujahid , it denotes one burdened by wrongdoing rather than righteous effort. Differs from pakiza , as it implies moral impurity and remorse. In Urdu poetry, like Ghalib's ghazals, it evokes the soul's tormented confession of human frailty.
