2) he gives me a message of a promise of a sight/interview of the friend/beloved
rasaa))ii : 'Arriving; entrance, access; accessibleness; reach, compass'. (Platts p.592)
diidaar : 'Sight, vision (= diid ); look, appearance; face, countenance, cheek; interview'. (Platts p.556)
This is the second verse in a verse-set that begins with {53,6} and is discussed by the commentators there.
The 'he' is of course the Other, as we know from {53,6}. The lover recognizes the Other's behavior as hostile, though it is cloaked in the guise of helpfulness (he's kindly bearing a hopeful message). This 'message' doesn't show, however, that he really has the access [rasaa))ii] he's implicitly claiming. He might just be inventing it all.
Moreover, the three i.zaafat constructions in a row add a large dollop of vagueness and pompousness-- how reliable is a 'message of a promise of a sight'? And is the unreliability that of the beloved, the Other, or (most likely) both of them?
