Who has thrown us into the well of love? We drowned ourselves of our own free will for the sake of someone dear to us.
The poet plays beautifully with the word 'chaah', which means both a 'deep well' and 'affection' or 'desire'. At first, it sounds like a bewildered complaint—asking who could have pushed them into the dark depths of love—only for the poet to swiftly confess that no one else is to blame. They chose to plunge into this overwhelming sea willingly, driven purely by devotion to their beloved, celebrating surrender rather than regretting it.
