Every day and night, you live in a tangle of entanglements. O heart of a hundred sighs, to whose tresses were you once so graceful?
This poignant couplet speaks of the relentless passage of time spent in the intoxicating grip of love. The poet laments that day and night pass away just existing in the captivating charm of the beloved. The second line is a rhetorical question: Oh heart, which beautiful tresses did you adorn yourself with? It suggests that the heart is so deeply captivated by a specific beauty that its allegiance is lost, leaving the lover questioning its true ownership.
