The go-between has indeed offered hope, but these reassurances bring no comfort or solace to the heart.
Here, the lover speaks of the agony that third-party reassurances fail to soothe, despite the go-between ('dallala') returning with hopeful words from the beloved. In the vulnerable realm of love, secondhand promises often feel hollow and fragile to a desperately yearning heart. True peace can never be borrowed from another's consolations; it can only arrive through the beloved's direct presence and unwavering truth.
