Those who are departing do not know at all where they have to go, yet they keep on moving ahead.
This couplet captures the mysterious, almost hypnotic rhythm of human existence, where travelers keep moving forward with no clear destination in sight. The poet paints a gentle yet haunting picture of life, showing that often our journey is driven not by a known goal, but by an inner compulsion or fate that keeps us in motion. It carries a quiet sadness about the uncertainty of where we are headed, while still honoring the poignant perseverance of the wanderer's heart.
