O Nazm, such excessive caution is useless in the valley of passion, where you repeatedly regain your balance right as you stumble and halt midway in your stride.
Here, the poet gently chides himself for walking so timidly through the wild, unpredictable terrain of love. The 'valley of passion' calls for reckless abandon, not calculated restraint; anxiously catching oneself from falling or freezing mid-stride only robs love of its magic. True surrender in romance means letting go of fear and worldly caution entirely.
