Ham To Hon Kaifi Tire Par Kya Karein Aa Chashm-e-yaar — Nazeer Akbarabadi
Meaning
We are intoxicated by you—O eye of the beloved, what can we do? Your kohl does not let us return to our senses.
Explanation
The poet speaks to his beloved with gentle devotion. He admits that he is completely intoxicated by her, but then asks what he can do, and calls out to her beautiful eyes. The reason for his dizzy, lost state is simple and tender: the dark kohl lining her eyes. That single touch of beauty keeps him from coming back to his senses. It is a playful confession of love, where he blames her charming gaze for his helpless condition. There is no complaint here, only sweet surrender to the spell her eyes have cast over him.
