意思
A person who is very beloved.
文化背景
In Pakistani households, the youngest child (ladla) is almost always called the 'Aankhon ka tara'. This often leads to them being pampered more than their siblings. Poets often use 'Aankhon ka tara' to describe the 'Noor' (light) of the Prophet or spiritual leaders, elevating the idiom from domestic to divine love. Many songs use this phrase to describe the hero's love for his mother or vice versa, reinforcing the idiom's emotional weight in popular culture. Sufis use the concept of 'Basirat' (inner vision). Being the 'star of the eyes' can also mean being the one who provides spiritual clarity.
Gender Neutrality
Remember that 'tara' is always masculine. Don't change it to 'tari' for girls!
Plurality
Always use 'Aankhon' (plural). Using 'Aankh' (singular) makes the idiom sound broken.
