Well, I just can't think of much to say about this one. It's so full of abstraction, and it doesn't really seem to be going anywhere; maybe it's just wandering around in the distance, providing a record of the thought-processes of the nineteen-year-old poet.
On samajhnaa as 'to consider', see {90,3}.
Gyan Chand:
Because of the customs of humility, I wander far off from you. I won't commit the insolence of coming near you. Even if you consider me an enemy, don't expect that I will come near, and fling a glance of familiarity at you, and disgrace my humility. That is, because of humility and lowness we are far from you.
