The poor woman is neither on this bank nor on the other bank; but she is in midstream. Except for the dry bank (the Hereafter) where the beloved is, every thing else is under deep water. (i.e. the worldly conditions are depressing.) "Notwithstanding you continue your efforts to swim across the river! Do not get unnerved! Allah is merciful to those persons who are about to drown!" (This is what the poet advises.)

Neither this bank nor in midstream Suhni swam,
Her love stands on opposite bank, all else is water's expanse,
Enter, look here nor there drowning ones are blessed.

Neither on this nor on the other bank, the poor girls is in midstream,
Except the dry patch the beloved is on, all else is wild water,
Enter, look not here, God is merciful to those who drown.
