Because of the sorrow caused by my beloved's detachment and indifference, my heart is always burdened with sadness.
In this tender couplet, the poet speaks of a beloved who has turned indifferent and emotionally detached, adopting the distant demeanor of an ascetic (bairag). When the one you love withdraws completely, their quiet coldness casts a perpetual, lingering shadow over your entire world. The sorrow here is not a fleeting mood, but a permanent state of being, where the lover's heart remains forever draped in quiet heartbreak.
