He had such quiet eyes: Compilation

Mr Mokhzani Fadir
Mr Mokhzani Fadir

The poem describes a man who appeared kind but was deceitful, as represented by his "quiet eyes" that hid "two pools of lies." A woman fell for him without realizing the truth about his character. The poem advises that it is better to listen to warnings against compromising with "pleasure-seeking guys" who will only hurt you. If the woman had been wiser, she could have avoided the pain of having to explain "the hows and whys" of what happened after being misled by the man's false appearance and empty promises.
