There is an eye of anticipation waiting to see when the path appears, / The wound of your distance has become a chronic sore.

This couplet beautifully captures the agony of prolonged waiting. The poet speaks of a 'waiting eye' (chashm-e-muntazir) that has been fixed on a path for ages. Why the wait? Because the separation, the distance from the beloved, has turned the initial wound into a chronic, festering ulcer. It's a powerful depiction of how emotional pain, when left unattended, worsens over time.
