Why did you grant me the command of travel from the garden of paradise? The affairs of the world are long; now wait for me.
This couplet speaks of destiny and the journey of life. The poet questions why, having been in paradise (Bagh-e-Bihisht), was he given the command to travel. He then reminds the listener that the work of the world (Kaar-e-Jahan) is vast, and he is waiting for their response, their acknowledgment. It is a powerful reflection on the transient nature of comfort and the continuous effort required in this life.
