In love with an idol, I was forced to show reverence to disbelief, and in the end, I had to do everything the Brahmin commanded.

This couplet captures the total, helpless surrender that passionate love demands. In classical ghazals, the beloved is often portrayed as an 'idol' and their worship as 'heresy,' showing how earthly love supersedes rigid religious orthodoxy. The poet playfully yet earnestly admits that once you enter love's temple, you must leave conventional rules behind and bow entirely to whatever devotion demands.
