The friends/beloved have awakened, O God, please do something.
This poignant couplet is a beautiful plea for divine intervention. For Bulleh Shah, the 'awakening of the beloved' (yaar) does not merely signify romance; it symbolizes the sudden realization of divine love or truth. The Shayar is overwhelmed by this intense spiritual intoxication and turns to God, asking for grace. It is a heartfelt surrender, acknowledging that the depth of this yearning is beyond human control, and only divine help can guide the soul.
