O heart-burning sigh, oh river, I do not understand you; this flame that rose from my heart, it has burned me.

This profound couplet speaks to the complexity of internal suffering. The poet addresses the pain itself ('Jaan-soz Ah o Naala'), stating that he does not understand it. The 'flame' (Shola) that burned was not external; it was ignited from his own heart. It suggests that sometimes, the greatest pain we endure is the passion or emotion we ourselves create and cannot control. It is a beautiful portrait of self-torture and existential confusion.
