In the end, only my free and unattached heart was left alone; there were many companions, but each one was bound to a destination.

Here, the poet contrasts an untethered, liberated heart (dil-e-waarasta) with ordinary travelers who are bound to specific destinations. We meet many companions on the road of life, but most are simply chasing worldly goals; once their personal stop arrives, they part ways and alight. In the end, only the free spirit—who loves the journey itself rather than the hunger for an endpoint—remains wandering in solitary grace.
