O effect, do not wait for a prayer to be uttered, because begging or asking for something is extreme shamelessness.
Here, the poet personifies the 'effect' or outcome, urging it not to wait for a formal prayer because begging feels like an unbearable blow to one's self-respect. It highlights a fierce sense of khuddari (dignity), where the lover chooses to endure silent ache rather than demean themselves by pleading for relief. The underlying sentiment is that true grace or empathy should respond intuitively to unspoken pain, without forcing a proud heart to beg.
