आँखों में जी मिरा है उधर देखता नहीं मरता हूँ में तो हाए रे सर्फ़ा निगाह का
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

There is a tremor in my eyes; I cannot look in that direction. I am dying merely from the intensity of your gaze.

Explanation

This profound couplet captures the agonizing intoxication of love. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, speaks of a restless heart that is completely captive to the beloved's eyes. He confesses that he cannot look anywhere else; his existence, his very life, is dependent on the mere glance of the beloved. It is a powerful declaration of surrender, where the lover finds both his life and his death in the depth of a single gaze.
