खुलती है जब आँख शब को तुझ बिन
कटती नहीं आती फिर नज़र रात
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
When the eye opens at night without you, the gaze does not stop even through the night.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the agony of separation and sleepless nights. The poet suggests that when the eyes finally open in the deep of night, the longing for the beloved is so intense that the gaze itself becomes trapped. It cannot simply 'cut' or leave the night's embrace, implying that the memory and the pain of absence are inescapable, keeping the soul awake until dawn.
