We are dervishes, ultimately, of the farewell glance of two eyes; in the corner, dear one, we will pray for you.
This couplet speaks of a profound, almost detached farewell. The poet identifies himself as a 'dervish,' suggesting a state of spiritual wandering and non-attachment. The goodbye isn't loud or dramatic; it is merely the 'farewell of a glance' (दो-इक निगह की रुख़्सत). Despite the departure, the poet promises the beloved, sitting peacefully in the corner, a heartfelt blessing. It is a beautiful blend of melancholy and unconditional love.
