उसे देख कर और को फिर जो देखे कोई देखने वाला ऐसा न देखा
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

I have never seen an onlooker who, after beholding that beloved, would ever look at anyone else.

Explanation

This couplet captures the mesmerizing, all-consuming spell of the beloved's unmatched beauty. The poet suggests that once you gaze upon them, the rest of the world fades into insignificance, making it impossible for your eyes to wander. In a gentle, teasing tone, Mir remarks that if anyone could actually turn away and look at another, such an unfeeling spectator simply does not exist.
