दीदा-ए-हैराँ हमारा था तुम्हारे ज़ेर-ए-पा हम को हैरत है कि पैदा नक़्श-ए-पा क्यूँकर हुआ
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

Our astonished eyes were spread beneath your feet; we are amazed at how a footprint could possibly have formed upon them.

Explanation

Imagine a lover so spellbound that instead of the bare ground, his wide, unblinking eyes are spread beneath the beloved's delicate footsteps. He marvels with pure astonishment at how a footprint could ever form upon something as glassy, fluid, and fragile as a gazing eye. It is an exquisite metaphor for total devotion, capturing how even the softest touch of the beloved leaves an indelible mark on the lover's soul.
