That person's eyes are not in front of the mirror; I am astonished, my friend, by her modesty (shame and grace).
Mir Taqi Mir presents a profound observation on natural beauty and inherent grace. The poet suggests that her eyes possess such a mesmerizing quality that they don't require the reflection of a mirror to shine; their magic is innate. He then marvels at his own sense of modesty, suggesting that the overwhelming power of her presence makes even his usual inhibitions seem small. It's a celebration of raw, unfiltered beauty!
