Definition
死不瞑目
Literally means:
die with one's eyes open
Actually means:
die with one's wishes unfulfilled; die with discontent
瞑目 means closing one's eyes.
This phrase means dying with one's eyes open. It figuratively means that one refuses to close his eyes before death because he has unfulfilled wishes or discontent. Today this phrase is usually used to refer to discontent before dying because one has not reached his aim.
瞑目，闭眼。
死不瞑目，死了也不闭眼睛。形容人临死前心中有放不下的事，留下了遗憾，死了不肯闭眼睛。现在多用来形容不达目的，至死也不甘心。
