Nazar Aayin Mujhe Taqdeer Ki Gehraiyaan Is Mein — Allama Iqbal

नज़र आईं मुझे तक़दीर की गहराइयाँ इस में न पूछ ऐ हम-नशीं मुझ से वो चश्म-ए-सुर्मा-सा क्या है
— Allama Iqbal

Meaning

In this, I saw the depths of destiny; do not ask me what those kohl-rimmed eyes are.

Explanation

This powerful couplet explores the overwhelming mystery of fate (Taqdeer). The poet is addressing his beloved, saying that while the beloved's captivating glance (Chashm-e-Surma) is beautiful, he has witnessed deeper, more profound mysteries in the fabric of destiny itself. It's a moment of profound introspection, suggesting that the secrets of life are far deeper than any earthly attraction. The glance is lovely, but destiny is a universe unto itself.
