My lack of presence and your lack of coming, or meeting of eyes—these graces are so much demanded, that you should go.

This couplet is a beautiful example of the paradox of love. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, is telling his beloved to keep her distance and minimize eye contact. Yet, the underlying tone is one of desperate longing. He acknowledges that her mere presence and captivating manners are overwhelming, making him beg her to leave, even though he clearly desires her proximity!
