We keep neither any companion nor any acquaintance, and we harbor no hope from anyone except God.
This couplet speaks of a quiet, liberating solitude born not out of bitterness, but out of profound spiritual reliance. The poet gently steps away from the fragile web of human expectations and worldly companions to guard the heart against disappointment. When your hope is anchored entirely in the Divine, the need for fleeting mortal crutches simply melts away, leaving behind a deep and peaceful self-sufficiency.
