If my heart did not have the resolve to embark on a journey, it would not be lamenting in the manner of a caravan bell.

In this couplet, the poet compares the aching cries of his heart to the 'jaras'—the heavy bell tied to a caravan that tolls to signal departure into the desolate desert. He suggests that the deep restlessness inside him is not purposeless sorrow, but proof that the soul has resolved to embark on a transformative journey of love or longing. The weeping of the heart thus becomes the music of movement, announcing that it is finally setting forth.
