közleri ot çağarğa

/køzleri ot tʃaʁarʁa/

Literal translation

for one's eyes to strike fire

To be so stunned by a blow or a stab of pain that flashes of colour seem to burst before one's eyes.

Endi ua qutuldum degenley, top kelib anı [efendini] boqur qaynağan jelkesine tiydi. Közleri ot çaqdıla, başında börkü bla qolundağı tayaqçığı mursa içine birça tüşdüle.Just as he thought he had got away, a ball came flying and struck him [the efendi] on the nape, where a boil had festered. Sparks flew from his eyes, and the cap on his head and the little stick in his hand fell together into the nettles.
