Like a curtain of Mina, from the cup to the mouth, what was the modesty in your eyes, O lover of sorrow?

Mir Taqi Mir captures a moment of profound emotional conflict. The poet compares the allure of a delicate curtain (parda-e-meena) to the captivating, yet unrestrained, eyes of the beloved. The 'lady of secrets' (dukhhtar-e-raz) is accused of having lost her modesty, suggesting that the depth of her gaze is so powerful it defies all natural shyness. It’s a poignant lament on lost innocence and overwhelming beauty.
