Hai At Aankhon Ki Nahi Wo Rahi Rote Rote / Ab To Girdab Se Aate Hain — Mir Taqi Mir
हैअत आँखों की नहीं वो रही रोते रोते
अब तो गिर्दाब से आते हैं नज़र पानी में
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The tears are no longer from the eyes' sorrow; now they seem to emerge from the whirlpool's spray.
Explanation
This profound couplet describes the sheer exhaustion of the eyes. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that after continuous crying, the natural grace and beauty ('hai'at') of the eyes vanish. Now, the gaze is not gentle or soft; rather, it is turbulent and chaotic, like a whirlpool in deep water. It paints a picture of deep emotional turmoil and weariness.
