The sea endures the day's scorching heat. At night, witnessing restlessness, the sea becomes agitated.

This couplet beautifully uses the river (dariya) as a metaphor for the human heart or soul. During the scorching heat of the day, the river seems to shrink, suggesting a feeling of depletion or struggle. But at night, when the heat subsides, it doesn't rest; it becomes restless and agitated. Amrut Ghayal suggests that true turmoil isn't just visible in the day's struggle, but in the silent, deep anxieties of the night.
