When did merely mentioning his name cause me to faint? Oh, heart afflicted by cruelty, in what moment are you wandering within him?

This beautiful couplet captures the dizzying, fatal power of memory and love. The poet is asking, 'When did I hear that name, that I lost consciousness?' It suggests that the mere mention of the beloved's name is enough to destabilize the lover's entire being. He then laments that his heart, already worn down by the cruelties of love, seems destined to die at some point. It is a perfect portrayal of surrender to passion.
