Dil Ban Gaya Nigah Nigah Ban Ga.i Zaban — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
The heart turned into eyes and the eyes became speech; today, a silence born of longing has wrought utter havoc like doomsday.
Explanation
This couplet captures a moment so intensely charged with love that words become completely unnecessary. The poet describes how an overwhelming longing transforms the heart into a searching gaze, and that gaze starts speaking silently on behalf of the tongue. This deep, potent silence born of desire carries such an electric weight that it wreaks a gentle, devastating havoc—bringing about an emotional apocalypse without a single word being uttered.
