It is always extremely difficult for an oppressed person to obtain justice; sometimes the judge is nowhere to be found, and sometimes the killer cannot be found.
This couplet captures the bitter and timeless tragedy of seeking justice in an unfair world. The poet observes how the victim remains trapped in endless despair because the circumstances never align—either the judge is missing, or the culprit vanishes into thin air. Beyond a literal courtroom, it also mirrors the quiet agony of love, where the heartbroken lover finds neither the cruel beloved to confront nor any sympathetic listener to validate their grief.
