ऐसी भी इक निगाह किए जा रहा हूँ मैं ज़र्रों को मेहर-ओ-माह किए जा रहा हूँ मैं
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning

I am casting such a glance that I am turning ordinary specks of dust into the sun and the moon.

Explanation

In this couplet, the poet speaks of the miraculous alchemy of love and artistic vision. With just a single tender and appreciative glance, he elevates the lowliest motes of dust into radiant celestial bodies like the sun and the moon. It is a beautiful celebration of perception—reminding us that when we look at the world with deep reverence and affection, even the most ordinary things become extraordinary.
