From Bali, a hand of craving, since birth has been given; To whom shall one spread out the plea, if that which is one's own is gone? Literally, the lines describe having a craving or desire that has existed since birth, and questioning where one can appeal for something that rightfully belongs to oneself.

This profound couplet speaks of a lifelong, deep-seated yearning. The poet feels that his existence has been defined by a specific desire or attachment for an entire lifetime. The second line is a rhetorical question: if I have found this longing, where else can I turn to satisfy it? It’s a beautiful expression of existential longing, suggesting that the source of the craving is so deeply woven into the self that it cannot be easily satisfied or relocated.
