In this world, all the means of cheering the heart have turned into corpses, and any place of comfort has become impossible to find, having vanished beyond physical space.
This couplet paints a haunting picture of deep grief and existential exhaustion. The poet laments that everything meant to bring solace or lift the spirit has decayed and turned into lifeless corpses. True comfort has become impossible to find in this world, having vanished into the realm of the spaceless ('la-makaan')—forever out of reach for a living heart.
