The poem is about an unspeakable agony, deep sadness. Chairil Anwar dedicated this poem to a woman Sri Ajati, which was not her real name. She is Mrs. RH Soeparsono. Chairil met Sri when she was working as a Japanese radio host in 1942. At that time she was already in a relationship with Soeparsono, who then became her husband.
