Whoever first dissolved their body into water like a flowing stream gradually came to embrace that cypress-tall beloved.
Wali Deccani paints an exquisite picture of pure surrender here: just as a gentle stream slowly curls around a tall cypress tree standing on its bank, the lover first melts away his entire ego and physical pride. Becoming fluid, humble, and patient like running water, he finally reaches the beloved's feet. It is a tender reminder that the highest embrace of love is earned not through force, but by completely dissolving oneself.
