Interpretation


Shaayar Lakhnavi, in the first line (misra), seems to marvel at how dangerously alluring his beloved's glances are — so sharp and intense that they metaphorically "kill", making the beloved a qaatil, a murderer. The use of ufff ufff expresses an overflow of emotion: a sigh, a gasp, a loss of control in the face of irresistible beauty.


The second misra complements the first by focusing on her adaaen — her style, her subtle, graceful gestures. They're so enchanting that the shaayar can only cry out tauba, a word that signals repentance but is often used playfully or dramatically to express being overwhelmed.


Together, the two lines create a portrait of a lover utterly undone by the beloved’s charm — defeated first by her gaze, and then by her grace.
