May God grant that no one ever gets trapped in the snare of love; no one can truly know the hardships and suffering that I have endured.
The poet envisions love as an inescapable snare ('daam-e-ishq') and offers a heartfelt prayer that no one else ever falls into its grip. It is a warning born of profound, silent suffering—the kind of grief that remains invisible to the outside world. There is a moving sense of loneliness here, reflecting how true heartbreak is an ordeal that only the one enduring it can truly comprehend.
