ऐसे हँसमुख को शम्अ' से तश्बीह शम्अ-ए-मज्लिस की रोनी सूरत है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning

Compare such a cheerful face to a lamp's glow, it is like the tearful countenance of the evening gathering.

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir captures the profound effect of genuine charm. He suggests that comparing such a cheerful, radiant person to a candle is an exaggeration, because their very presence is the light of the gathering. The 'rooni surat' (radiant face) doesn't just reflect light; it *is* the source of light for the entire assembly. It speaks to a beauty that illuminates the mood and the space itself.
