My foot was already pulling against the chain on its own; O madness, what difference does it make if you pulled my chains once again?

In traditional Urdu poetry, the mad lover is often bound in chains to hold back his wild passion, yet his spirit is never truly restrained. The poet says his foot was already straining desperately against the cold iron of worldly limits. When personified madness (junoon) arrives to yank at his chains once more, it changes nothing—he was already pushed to the absolute edge of longing and endurance.
