aaramiidah : 'Rested, reposed, quiescent'. (Platts p.39)
diidah : 'Seen, observed, perceived, felt, experienced; having seen, &c. (used in comp.)'. (Platts p.556)

The Persian diidah of course literally means 'having seen', but in Urdu its range has broadened to include 'having felt or experienced' (see the definition above). This broader sense is clear in {1,5}, which compares the mad lover's shackle to a 'singed hair' or a 'hair that has seen fire', a muu-e aatish-diidah .
The verse is notably stark and simple, so that the phrase .saiyaad-diidah , with its emphatic closural position, echoes in the memory. But what exactly has the deer 'seen', or 'felt', or 'experienced', that has left him forever traumatized, or at least agitated? Something ominous? Something terrifying? Something hypnotic? Perhaps even something divinely glorious? After all, agitation and restlessness isn't necessarily a sign of trauma; it can equally result from ecstasy, anticipation, longing, and so on. As so often, it's left up to us to decide.
Gyan Chand:
In the wilderness/jungle, if any deer would see the Hunter and would not come within his net, even then it would constantly be in a panic-- 'May I not be captured!'. It cannot, even by accident, be at rest. In the wilderness/jungle of grief, just this is my mood as well.
