TERMSSomeone else is observing Mir's behavior, and asking this question-- but we have to decide for ourselves in what tone he's speaking (suspicious? wondering? compassionate? sarcastic? amused?). We also have to decide whether the question is rhetorical (the speaker implies that he really knows very well why Mir is wandering alone), or genuine (the speaker genuinely doesn't know whether Mir might have some other, unknown purpose instead). It's a maximally, and most effectively, insha'iyah verse.
Note for grammar fans: Nowadays kisii se milnaa would mean 'to meet with someone', kisii ko ko))ii milnaa would mean 'for someone to encounter someone', and kisii chiiz kaa milnaa would mean 'the obtaining of something'; this latter form is rarely used for human beings. But patterns like these may not have been so established and so differentiated in Mir's time. Or else the crazed lover might indeed have been dreaming of romantically or erotically 'obtaining' the beloved.
