उस को निकाले कोई किस तौर से
तीर-ए-मिज़ा सीने में घर कर गया
— Khwaja Ruknuddin Ishq
Meaning
How can anyone possibly draw it out? The arrow of the beloved's eyelashes has struck and made a permanent home inside the chest.
Explanation
In classical poetry, a beloved's gaze is often likened to an arrow, but here the poet brings a tender, indelible twist to the metaphor. The dart of her eyelashes hasn't merely pierced his chest—it has comfortably made a permanent home there. Removing it is impossible now, because what began as a wound of love has gently settled into becoming the very core of his being.
