Turning towards the beloved's laughter, the lightning has mocked its own existence.

This couplet beautifully captures the overwhelming power of the beloved's charm. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that merely turning to face the lover's smile (ख़ंदा-ए-यार) is enough to disrupt the cosmic order. Even the lightning (barke), which is usually associated with dramatic, loud, and powerful natural displays, is forced to simply laugh—a laugh of sheer surrender to the beloved's captivating grace. It elevates the beloved's smile to a force that governs even nature's drama.
