That innocent person who suffered cruelty from your gaze does not even have the strength to seek justice on the Day of Judgment.
The poet captures the mesmerizing, disarming power of the beloved's glance. On the Day of Judgment, when every wronged soul stands up to demand justice for life's cruelties, the lover struck by the beloved's eyes won't have the strength or desire to utter a single complaint. It is a tender portrait of total surrender in love—where the 'torment' inflicted by a glance is cherished rather than grieved.
