लड़ती है उस की चश्म-ए-शोख़ जहाँ
एक आशोब वाँ से उठता है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
From her coquettish eyes, where the world is her stage, a small quarrel rises.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the overwhelming, almost dangerous power of a woman's beauty and gaze. The poet suggests that her charming eyes (chashm-e-shokh) are so captivating that they stir up chaos in the world. A mere whisper or subtle breath (waan) from her is enough to ignite a profound disturbance (ashob). It is a masterful portrayal of how beauty can be both mesmerizing and destructive.
