Meaning

Explanation
This couplet is a beautiful depiction of emotional seepage. The poet suggests that the mere act of weeping, of crying repeatedly, causes the tears to seep into every corner of the desert. It implies that deep sorrow doesn't just fall; it permeates everything around you, making the entire environment moist with grief. It's a profound way of saying that grief affects every aspect of your existence.
