O friends, we even sacrificed our very life, yet the desire of the killer was still not fulfilled.

In this couplet, the poet confides in his friends about the deepest tragedy of unrequited love. The beloved is depicted as a captivating 'slayer', but the lover has already made the ultimate sacrifice by surrendering his very life. Heartbreakingly, even offering up one's soul wasn't enough to satisfy the beloved's elusive desires or win their grace.
