न लुटते हम मगर उन मस्त अँखड़ियों ने 'जिगर' नज़र बचाते हुए डबडबा के लूट लिया
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning

O Jigar, we would never have been robbed, but those intoxicating eyes plundered us by welling up with tears while avoiding our gaze.

Explanation

Jigar Moradabadi captures the fragile beauty of love's quiet surrender here. He suggests his heart was well-guarded and would never have fallen so easily, yet the beloved’s intoxicating eyes did something completely disarming. Rather than striking with a bold, direct gaze, those eyes simply looked away shyly, brimming with unshed tears—and that irresistible mix of vulnerability and modesty plundered all his defenses.
