Meaning
Sleep is coming, so roll the bidis! Flames have caught within my eyes: roll the bidis!
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the struggle against overwhelming sleepiness. The speaker, feeling the weight of fatigue and a burning sensation in their eyes, likely from exhaustion, repeatedly urges someone to roll beedis. This isn't just a request; it's a desperate plea for a stimulant to stay awake, perhaps to continue working or to fulfill a commitment. It paints a vivid picture of someone pushing their limits, using a common habit as a tool to fight off the strong urge to sleep, highlighting a moment of intense mental and physical strain.
