Many are the lineage-born people who are fallen, what mention is there of the prayer-cloth of the Wives?
This profound couplet speaks to the clash between spiritual devotion and lived suffering. The poet suggests that the mere mention or remembrance of a sacred place (the beloved's *musalla-o-rida*) holds little weight or significance... when compared to the depth of the worldly struggles and pain (जिंस-कुलालों) one is currently enduring. It’s a powerful statement that real suffering often eclipses even piety and sacred memory.
