When the colors of the clouds and the intoxication appeared, you, oh lovely one, in that direction; I am astonished as to where you have bestowed your grace today.
Mir Taqi Mir conveys a beautiful sense of surprise and wonder. The 'colors of the clouds' and 'intoxication' serve as metaphors for natural beauty and overwhelming spiritual bliss. The Shayar is astonished because the beloved's grace appears so unexpectedly and spontaneously, much like a sudden, refreshing monsoon. It beautifully captures the feeling of being utterly charmed by unpredictable divine favor.
