O heart, why is the beloved's gaze indifferent now? It was never this heedless of your condition before.

In this couplet, the lover turns inward to their own aching heart, bewildered by a sudden chill in the beloved's demeanor. The gaze that once registered every subtle beat of the lover's pain now deliberately looks away in indifference (taghaful). The true grief lies in the sharp contrast—the heartbreak of watching eyes that once understood everything suddenly pretend to see nothing at all.
