"Sear tears" doesn't make sense (as far as I currently know).
What are you trying to say? :)

@sahilsignup 😂 I want to say to cry without wet tears, to cry with dry (?) tears 🙂

@lilac21 Because tears are naturally wet, you can't really describe tears as "dry" 😅 (unless you're doing it for poetic reasons).
You might instead describe the eyes as being dry? :)
More context might be helpful if possible!

@sahilsignup yes, it’s like for poetic reason, when you want to describe crying like something delightful

@lilac21 Ahh I see, thank you!
In that case, you could try associating "crying" with a word that connotes something beautiful.
For example, "gold," "elixir," "ethereal," "delicate," "celestial," etc.
"Tears of joy" might also be accurate. :)
