दिल को आँखों ने फँसाया क्या मगर ये भी हल्क़े हैं तुम्हारे दाम के
— Mirza Ghalib
Meaning

Did your eyes ensnare my heart? But then, they too are merely rings within the snare you have laid.

Explanation

The poet wonders whether it was the beloved's captivating gaze that lured his heart into love's trap, only to realize that those eyes are just one part of a much grander snare. Every gesture, glance, and charm belongs to the same inescapable web woven by the beloved. It captures the sweet, helpless surrender of being utterly enchanted, where trying to pinpoint the blame is pointless because the entire essence of the beloved holds you captive.
