उन्हें निगाह है अपने जमाल ही की तरफ़ नज़र उठा के नहीं देखते किसी की तरफ़
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

Their gaze is fixed solely upon their own beauty, and they never lift their eyes to look toward anyone else.

Explanation

This couplet captures the effortless aloofness and self-enchantment of the beloved with a touch of gentle heartbreak. The beloved is so mesmerized by their own radiant splendor that they remain completely wrapped in their own world, never bothering to look outward. For the lover yearning for even a fleeting glance, this innocent yet absolute indifference is both captivating and agonizing.
