चेहरा पे जो तेरे नज़र कर गया जान से अपनी वो गुज़र कर गया
— Khwaja Ruknuddin Ishq
Meaning

Whoever cast a glance at your face ended up losing his life.

Explanation

This couplet captures the sheer, breath-stopping power of the beloved's beauty. A single glimpse is not a casual encounter; it is so intensely radiant that it instantly demands the lover's entire being. In the rich tradition of the ghazal, 'passing away from life' represents the ultimate surrender—where one willingly lets go of the ego and selfhood, completely undone and reborn in love.
