Has anyone ever heard of such injustice, that innocent people are sent to the gallows? It seems their hearts still harbor deep-seated resentment and hatred toward those who recite the kalima (Muslims).

This couplet captures the raw anguish of witnessing blatant injustice, where completely innocent lives are sent to the gallows purely out of an old, unresolved grudge. The poet uses the metaphor of 'bukhar'—a smoldering fever of bitter malice—to expose how deep-seated prejudice blinds tyrants to basic humanity. It carries a heavy sigh of historical grief, mourning people who were condemned not for any actual crime, but simply for who they were.
