This afflicted heart yearns for union with someone with whom there is neither any meeting nor any prior acquaintance.

This couplet captures the beautifully irrational nature of longing, where the heart desperately aches to unite with someone it has never even known. Love here transcends familiar bonds—it is a spontaneous, soul-deep thirst that does not wait for an introduction or an encounter. It speaks both to the ache of loving an unreachable, ideal beloved and the mystical yearning for an unseen Divine.
