Rukhsaar Uske Haaye Re Jab Dekhte Hain Hum — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Oh, when we gaze upon her cheek, oh, how we feel; our eyes are drawn to those eyes, oh, where we conceal.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet captures the intoxicating effect of a beloved's presence. When the poet says, 'When we look at her cheeks...' he isn't just describing a physical sight. He is describing a powerful, magnetic pull. The phrase 'आँखों को उन में गड़ोइए' suggests that the eyes are so captivated by her beauty that they feel compelled to sink into her very being, like they are being embedded there. It’s a profound expression of love that goes beyond mere sight; it’s a surrender to the gaze.
