Where there was the luster of jewel-like kohl, there was only the dust of the feet; in those very eyes, I saw the spinning bangles again.

This exquisite couplet by Mir Taqi Mir is a breathtaking ode to extreme beauty. The poet compares the kohl (eyeliner) to the dust of a Jinn, suggesting an otherworldly, mesmerizing quality. The second line is a hyperbole: he saw bangles moving within the beloved's very eyes. It paints a picture of such intense enchantment that the beauty seems to spill out of her gaze!
