This poem explores the themes of epistemological limits and the ineffable nature of the ultimate reality or the afterlife. The metaphors of eyes turning white (blindness) and the path growing dark signify the end of physical and intellectual pursuit. The speaker questions the utility of continuing to seek or communicate about a realm that inherently lacks 'traces' (nishan) and 'news' (khabar), highlighting the ultimate silence and surrender required when confronting the unknowable.
