It is wrong to think that my heart is either here or there; it is detached from both worlds, and only God knows where it might be.
In this couplet, the poet playfully yet deeply dismisses the idea that his heart is bound to any conventional place, whether it belongs to this material world or the hereafter. By declaring it completely detached from both realms, he presents the heart as a wanderer in a boundless spiritual landscape. It has reached such a pure state of mystical surrender and liberation that only the Divine truly knows where it resides.
