The people of India have been ruined, and words fail to describe the oppression inflicted upon them. Whomever the ruler of the time laid eyes upon, he decreed that this person too deserves the gallows.

This heartbreaking couplet captures the pervasive terror and devastation of colonial oppression, likely echoing the brutal aftermath of 1857. The poet laments how ordinary people were swept into an atmosphere of utter ruin, where the ruler's paranoid gaze brought instant condemnation rather than justice. Here, the gallows ('daar') become a chilling symbol of absolute tyranny—a dark reality where simply existing as an Indian was reason enough to be marked for death.
