Ji Khinche Jate Hain Fart-e-shauq Se Ankhom Ki Aur — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The eyes are drawn by the current of longing, and those who behold it become lifeless.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the overwhelming and fatal nature of divine beauty and desire. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the eyes themselves are irresistibly pulled by the sheer craving of love (फ़र्त-ए-शौक़). And the effect of this beauty is instantaneous: anyone who witnesses it, becomes utterly breathless, losing their life force. It captures the moment where love transcends mere sight and becomes a life-altering, intoxicating experience.
