The moment Zafar finished reciting his ghazal and set it down, every connoisseur of poetry placed it reverently upon their eyes and carried it away.

In this delightful couplet of traditional self-praise, Bahadur Shah Zafar paints a vivid picture of an enchanted mushaira. The moment he finishes reciting and sets his paper down, every true connoisseur of poetry treats the verse like a sacred blessing, reverently touching it to their eyes before carrying it away. Pressing something to one's eyes is a timeless gesture of deep love and honor, showing just how profoundly his words moved those who truly understood the art of verse.
