Girye Se Daagh-e-seena Taaza Hue Hain Saare — Mir Taqi Mir
गिर्ये से दाग़-ए-सीना ताज़ा हुए हैं सारे
ये किश्त-ए-ख़ुश्क तू ने ऐ चश्म फिर हरी की
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The stains upon my chest have been refreshed by you, O eye of spring, because you have given this dry lot of life.
Explanation
This profound couplet describes the devastating power of the beloved's gaze. The poet says that the scars on his chest, which he thought were fading with tears, have become vivid again. Why? Because your eyes, O beloved, have once more brought green life to this parched, dry earth. It's a beautiful complaint—the mere sight of the beloved is enough to reopen old wounds!
