That darkness and loneliness constantly revolve before the eyes; for those who look toward the final outcome, the dust of the grave serves as kohl for their vision.

Here, the poet reflects on mortality through a striking and contemplative metaphor. Those with true spiritual foresight—who look past worldly allurements toward the ultimate end—view life through the quiet, sobering darkness of the grave. For them, the dust of the tomb serves like kohl for the eyes, sharpening their vision and grounding their souls in the fleeting nature of this world.
