Even if the messenger did not bring a letter, he should have at least brought a clear reply; but it was my written fate that he could accomplish nothing.
There is a poignant heartache here about the agony of being left in complete uncertainty. The lover sighs that even a blunt, clear refusal would have been gentler than this void, yet the messenger returned with nothing at all. Notice the sorrowful play on 'likha'—the letter that was never written only reflects the tragic fate already inscribed in his destiny.
