वो अपने हुस्न की मस्ती से हैं मजबूर-ए-पैदाई
मिरी आँखों की बीनाई में हैं असबाब-ए-मस्तूरी
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
They are compelled by the intoxication of their beauty, and the essence of intoxication lies within the gaze of my eyes.
Explanation
This profound couplet explores the overwhelming power of captivating beauty. The poet suggests that the beloved is not truly constrained, but rather compelled by the sheer intoxication of their own charm. The beauty is so potent that merely gazing at it, through the eyes of a lover, feels like an intoxicating experience itself. It speaks to the irresistible, almost divine, nature of aesthetic allure.
