Do not go to the river to look at the flowing waves; instead, come and behold the flow of my tears.

The poet gently chides the beloved, saying there is no need to visit a riverbank just to admire the beauty of flowing waves. Instead, they should come to the lover and witness the relentless torrent of tears flowing from a broken heart. By contrasting the natural flow of a river with the depth of his weeping, the poet elevates personal longing into something far more vast and compelling than nature itself.
