Due to rogues and deceivers, a downfall was met; meanwhile, the enemy lay in their lap, sleeping peacefully.

This couplet describes a harsh reality: someone falls into deep trouble or ruin because of cunning and deceitful people. The poignant irony is revealed in the second line: while the victim suffers, their 'enemy' is depicted as completely at ease, comfortably resting and sleeping peacefully. It paints a picture of betrayal and vulnerability, where those who cause harm or benefit from it remain undisturbed, while the innocent bear the brunt of deceit.
