How will you face the Mecca? Ghalib humbly accepts that he has not lived his life according to the faith. Line 19/20 -How will you go to Kaaba? O Ghalib! You do not have any shame left. Ghalib depicts the human condition when faced with adversity or alienation that leads to a sense of despair. Line 17/18 - I am dying of impatience in hope of death. He bemoans the hopelessness of the existence where the sorrow and grief have overtaken the sense of being. The sadness, the sorrow has covered his self to an extent that he is not able to hear his inner self.

Line 15/16 - I am in such a situation right now, from where even I am unable to get any news of myself.

Ghalib again questions the faith and says that he is a tortured soul searching for answers, yet the higher powers have not provided him any comfort. Line 13/14 - Though nobody can see the wound of my heart, but the wound is festering and yet the healer does not come. The overbearing state of mine has devoid me of any respite that I could get by recalling old fond memories. Line 11/12 - Why shouldn't I yell with joy at those old glorious days. Ghalib reckons that it is prudent for him to not talk of religious matters as he may offend people who may think what a non-practicing Muslim knows about religion. Otherwise there is no such thing which I can not speak of. Line 9/10 - This is such a matter that it is better to be quiet. Ghalib taking aim at the religious clergy that constantly preaches of religious deeds/devotion so that they are rewarded of good life in the next life. Line 7/8 - Though I know the benefits and rewards of devotion and religious duty, but I am in no mood of it. Ghalib is saying that the optimism and cheerfulness of youth has given way to the anguish and the despair of old age. But now I am unable to laugh at anything. Line 5/6 - Earlier I was able to laugh at the dilemma of my heart. Why am I so restless when I know that the end will be same for all irrespective of wealth, luck or actions? It has to come someday certainly to everyone. He could be referring to his Love or God as he was disillusioned in both. The second line could also mean I recall no face in my thoughts. Ghalib in his works has frequently touched upon this theme, that life is a continuous meaningless struggle that will end only with only when life itself ends. Line 1/2 - I do not see any hope in living.
