The Shayar says that I wish the burqa would lift from the mouth, otherwise what is the gain? Because for the eyes, they have given the sight of the beloved to their own whim.

This poignant couplet captures the universal ache of longing. The speaker is frustrated by the beloved's veil (burqa), wishing she would lift it to reveal her full face. Yet, the pain deepens when he realizes that she has already granted him a taste of her beauty—the captivating sight of her eyes. It’s a masterful depiction of desire, where even a glimpse is enough to make the withholding of the full face unbearable!
