तेरे रुख़्सार की सफ़ाई देख चश्म दाना की नईं गुहर की तरफ़
— Shakir Naji
Meaning

Seeing the luminous clarity of your cheek, the eye of the wise is no longer drawn toward the pearl.

Explanation

The poet draws a captivating comparison between the luminous clarity of the beloved's cheek and the flawless glow of a pearl. Even the sharpest connoisseur, who normally treasures the finest gems, turns their gaze away from pearls upon seeing such natural radiance. It is a tender celebration of a beauty so pure and effortless that the most precious jewels of the world pale in comparison.
