In the path of love, the more someone had lost their way and destination, O heart, the more capable they were of becoming a guide.

There is a delightful paradox here: in the physical world, a guide must know the exact route, but on the path of love, the rules are turned on their head. The poet suggests that only someone who has utterly lost sight of their destination—one who has wandered, surrendered their ego, and experienced the bewilderment of love—earns the wisdom to guide another. By invoking Khizr, the mystical immortal guide of travelers, the couplet tells us that in matters of the heart, true guidance comes not from knowing the map, but from having felt the depth of being lost.
