When has the wilderness not fled from my madness, and when has the desert ever failed to keep far away from me?

In classical Urdu poetry, the desert is the natural sanctuary for the mad lover, but here, the poet playfully turns the metaphor upside down. His inner frenzy and passion are so overpowering that even the vast, untamed wilderness feels intimidated and keeps its distance. It captures a state of loneliness and madness so intense that even the world's emptiest spaces cannot bear to face him.
