O manifestation of vision, give the charity of your beauty so that, like the sun, this beggar's bowl may become a lamp to illuminate the dervish's dwelling.

Ghalib places himself here as a humble dervish standing before the beloved, whom he addresses as the supreme, illuminating vision. He begs for just a small share of the 'alms' of their beauty, imagining that receiving this light will turn his empty begging bowl into a radiant sun. It is a breathtaking metaphor of grace, showing how a single glance from the beloved can transform utter desolation into a bright, self-illuminating sanctuary.
