Oh Meera, what do you know about this stubbornness? We have already made him ashamed a hundred times.

This profound couplet captures the exhaustion of a lover who is perpetually at the mercy of the beloved's stubborn will. The speaker is baffled by the beloved's inexplicable 'zid' (stubbornness). He confesses that he has tried to move on, to forget, and to abandon that love a hundred times. Yet, despite all these attempts at freedom and detachment, the cycle of pain and attachment continues, suggesting that some bonds are simply impossible to break.
