kasa-e-chashm le ke jun nargis
kāsa-e-chashm le ke juuñ nargis
ham ne dīdār kī gadā.ī kī
Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
Meer Taqi Meer pictures the lover’s eyes as an empty bowl, and the narcissus (with its cup-like center) becomes a metaphor for pleading vision. The desire is so intense that seeing the beloved is treated as alms—something granted, not claimed. The couplet carries humility and desperation: the lover has nothing to offer except yearning itself, held out through the eyes.
