Whoever is rendered senseless by those intoxicating eyes, who could ever bring them back to consciousness?
In this couplet, the poet paints the beloved’s eyes as an intoxicant far more potent than any wine. A single glance from those 'chashm-e-mast' (intoxicating eyes) strips the lover of all self-awareness, pulling them into a state of ecstatic trance. The rhetorical question at the end gently reminds us that such a sacred intoxication is irreversible—no one possesses the power, or perhaps even the desire, to wake someone from such a beautiful surrender.
