The aggrieved and tormented ones heap so many curses; in such a situation, how could anyone dare pray for their own well-being?

This couplet captures the overwhelming gravity of heartbreak and the hesitation it brings. The 'scorched ones' represent those utterly consumed and ruined by the fires of love or sorrow, whose deep agony spills over into bitter curses. In the presence of such profound grief, the poet wonders how anyone could dare to be selfish enough to pray for their own happiness and well-being.
