When I took leave of my beloved bearing the wound of separation, she said that I fully deserved this severe punishment from her.
Imagine the sheer devastation of walking away from the one you love, already carrying the searing wound of separation, only to have them coldly remark that this torment is a punishment you richly deserve. Instead of a tearful farewell or tender comfort, the lover is handed a cruel verdict that justifies their agony. The couplet painfully captures how the indifference and unforgiving harshness of a beloved can hurt even deeper than the parting itself.
