In Pakistani society, 'Aankhein Khulna' is often associated with the 'evil eye' or 'Nazar.' Sometimes, people say their eyes opened to the jealousy of others. In Sufi poetry, this phrase refers to 'Ma'rifat' (spiritual knowledge). It is the moment the soul sees the divine truth. In modern corporate culture, it's used during 'performance reviews' to show that an employee has accepted their mistakes. Parents often use this as a 'told you so' phrase when a child ignores advice and then fails.
Use with 'Gayin'
Always remember to use the feminine plural 'gayin' for the past tense.
Not for physical sight
If you are talking about a doctor fixing your vision, don't use this idiom. Use 'Nazar theek hona'.
