When the heart is already burning at the very beginning of love, what on earth can I say about what its ultimate fate will be?
The poet captures that overwhelming, bittersweet despair when love has only just begun, yet the heart is already consumed by fire. There is a deep sense of vulnerability here—if the very threshold of passion brings such torment, contemplating where this journey will end feels impossible. The phrase 'kya khāk' adds a poignant layer of irony, subtly hinting that the heart’s ultimate fate is indeed nothing but reduction to literal ash.
