इधर देख लेना उधर देख लेना
कन-अँखियों से उस को मगर देख लेना
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Look around this way and that way, but make sure to steal a glance at them from the corner of your eyes.
Explanation
This playful sher captures the sweet, thrilling secrecy of stolen glances in a watchful crowd. To escape the prying eyes of the world, one must act completely detached—looking left and right as if searching for nothing in particular. Yet in that very sweep of casual indifference, the heart steals its prize: a quiet, longing glance at the beloved from the corner of the eye.
