The couplet asks, 'How long will you drag the sorrow in that cage?' It then pleads, 'O friend, only you can rescue us.'

This beautiful couplet is a heartfelt plea for rescue from emotional suffering. The poet questions the beloved (or fate) about how long they will force the lover to endure sorrow within the confines of painful memory. He turns to the divine, asking God to pull him out of this agonizing state, suggesting that the pain of love is so overwhelming that only divine intervention can save him.
