The poet is worried because of his blindness. He says that half of the years of his life remain to live and it has become impossible for him to lead his life without his eyes in this wide world. The whole world has become dark for him and his talent of writing poems will be useless and it will be destroyed after his death.
कवि अपने अंधेपन के कारण उदास है। वह कहता है कि उसका आधा जीवन अभी बाकी है और उसके लिए बिना आँखों के जीवन असम्भव हो गया है। यह विशाल संसार उसके लिए अन्धकारमय हो गया है तथा उसकी कविता लिखने की प्रतिभा भी व्यर्थ हो गई है तथा यह प्रतिभा उसके मरणोपरान्त व्यर्थ हो जाएगी।
