May evil eyes stay away from these tearful eyes, O Meer. These eyes are so full of tears that they are showing a storm how a real tempest looks.

This profound couplet speaks to the complexity of the human gaze. Mir Taqi Mir describes eyes that are simultaneously the 'desert' (suggesting dryness, emptiness, or pain) and the 'dew' (suggesting moisture, tears, or life). The core message is that the eyes don't merely cry; they reveal an entire emotional tempest—a storm. It's a masterful depiction of how much turmoil can be contained and revealed through just a look.
