Shukra Zahid Ka Apni Aankhon Mein May-e-iwaz Khirqa-e-maratuhin Dekha — Mir Taqi Mir
शुक्र ज़ाहिद का अपनी आँखों में
मय-इवज़ ख़िरक़ा-ए-मरतुहिन देखा
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In the eyes of Zahid, Venus perceived the wine and the shawl of the beloved.
Explanation
This profound couplet offers a glimpse into deep emotional observation. Mir Taqi Mir speaks of looking into the eyes of 'Shukr Zaahid,' and seeing within them a mix of intoxicating intoxication (May-e-awaz) and the significance of a 'martuhin's' cloak. It suggests that true understanding—or perhaps, true confusion—is found in the depths of another person's gaze. The poet masterfully captures the complexity of love and perception.
