As long as life remained in me, my caregivers were in hardship; when death brought ease to me, it brought relief to all my friends as well.

Here, the poet looks at death not with dread, but with a bittersweet, tender resignation. As long as breath lingered within him, his loved ones were exhausted by the prolonged strain and sorrow of nursing him. By gently describing his final passing as his 'ease' (aasaani), he touches on a quiet, painful reality—that his departure brought a tragic relief, finally lifting the heavy burden from those who cared for him.
