I always place my head at the beloved's feet; O Wali, I share the same disposition as the color of henna, which always stays attached to the feet.

Wali captures total devotion with a striking, intimate metaphor—comparing himself to the henna that adorns the beloved's feet. Just as henna clings to the feet and willingly loses its own existence to leave behind its lovely color, the poet perpetually rests his head in humble surrender. By calling himself of the same 'creed' as henna, he suggests that living at the feet of his beloved is not a burden, but his very nature and joy.
