हर सहर शोख़ की निगह की शराब मुझ अँखाँ का ख़ुमार खोती है
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

Every morning, the wine-like glance of the playful beloved dispels the lingering intoxication from my eyes.

Explanation

Imagine waking up weary, only to be instantly revitalized by a single flirtatious glance from the one you love. The poet portrays the beloved's playful gaze as a sweet wine that surprisingly doesn't intoxicate, but rather cures the lingering heaviness and hangover of sleep. It is a tender ode to morning romance, where love itself becomes the cure that breathes fresh energy into the soul.
