He is a dark thief, the face of the beloved, who can steal the heart even if it resides in a hundred eyes.

This magnificent couplet uses the powerful metaphor of a 'thief' to describe the beloved's face. Mir Taqi Mir says that the beloved's countenance is a black thief, capable of stealing the heart even if it is hidden in a hundred eyes. It speaks to the irresistible, almost criminal, charm of true beauty. The heart, once captured by such a gaze, cannot be guarded, no matter how many defenses we build.
