Duzdida Nigah Karna Phir Aankh Milana Bhi — Mir Taqi Mir
दुज़्दीदा निगह करना फिर आँख मिलाना भी
इस लौटते दामन को पास आ के उठाना भी
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
To gaze with sorrowful eyes and then to meet them, and to bring this departing lap closer and lift it up.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet captures the exquisite tension of longing and reunion. Mir Taqi Mir speaks about the delicate gestures of love: the glance that is meant to be hidden, yet somehow meets the gaze again. It’s about the sheer vulnerability of finding comfort—like lifting a returning veil—after a period of separation. It speaks to the beautiful, complicated dance of the heart.
