After years, your demeanor remained the same, until when the clouds gathered, your eyes also flashed with sudden brilliance.
This profound couplet describes the overwhelming nature of long-term love. The poet says that for years, the beloved maintained a consistent presence. But when the emotional intensity reached a peak—like gathering clouds—even the mere glance (deeda-e-tar) from the beloved's eyes caused a sudden, electrifying shock! It speaks of a love that is both chronic and dramatically intense, capable of stunning the lover at any moment.
