Kuchh To Jaata Dil Se Khaar-e-beqaraari Ka Khalish — Nazeer Akbarabadi
Meaning
Would that at least some of the stabbing pain of the thorn of restlessness left my heart; if only the tip of her eyelash had granted me peace in a single moment.
Explanation
The poet carries a restless thorn in his heart, a constant pricking of unease that never truly leaves. He longs for his beloved's glance to free him from this ache. The tip of her eyelash, sharp as a needle, might have drawn out that thorn and given him a moment of peace. But it did not happen. He wishes it had. In just one instant, with a single tender look, she could have soothed what has troubled him for so long. It is a sigh of yearning, a wish that the very thing that wounds could also heal, if only she had turned her eyes toward him.
