The heart is anxious with sorrow, and what troubles beset the body of Yusuf, confined within the prison's walls?
This profound couplet speaks of the turmoil of the soul. The poet describes a state where the very 'jaan' (life/soul) is anxious and restless due to deep sorrow (andoh). He compares this intense inner turmoil to the difficult circumstances faced by Prophet Joseph (Yusuf) while he was imprisoned. It suggests that even the great suffering of a prophet pales in comparison to the internal emotional chaos the poet feels.
