Even this slight movement of the lips is a spectacle; someone watches you through the eyes of a narcissus.
This beautiful couplet describes the captivating nature of true beauty. The poet suggests that even the subtle movements (jumbish) of the eyelashes (mizgaan) are a spectacle in themselves. However, the real, irresistible magic lies in being seen by the eyes of a beloved, comparing that gaze to the radiant beauty of a narcissus (Nargis). It speaks of an observation that is both art and overwhelming emotion.
