The poem's title, Doli, captures the very music of the bride's sobs and thus elevates the tears of departure into an emotional release. It is a simple yet regular scheme: it unifies and smooths every verse in this tale of a touching farewell. In contrast, it highlights the role of oral tradition where rhyme makes retention easier, thereby emphasizing the grief of the bride for her relatives who were absent on such an important occasion.

"Doli" consists of repetitive verses that echo the voice of a bride, reluctant to depart in her wedding palanquin without the presence of significant family members. The structured form of the poem underscores the gravity of departure and longing for familial presence. Each verse appeals to different family members, reinforcing the bride’s emotional ties and reluctance. This repeated form gives the poem a resonant, almost song-like quality, amplifying the bride’s tender and somber plea.

The spirit of 'Doli' is one of sorrow and introspection because it carries the melancholic flavour of a bride all set to depart from her parental home. Separation, the family ties and the sense of unrealized love form the crux of this poem, for it is in the bridal mind that these feelings would be most potent with regard to the family's bondage. Herein Rahi creates a sympathy that focuses the bride's vulnerability, her fear of being alone, and the internal struggle. It is an emotional piece that defines the feelings of many while going to one part of the earth away from what is familiar to him.

"Doli" dwells on the invoking of emotional pleas by the bride and her yearning for her family's companionship as she leaves. The structure of the poem serves to underline this ritual of departing from one's home-in a palanquin, signaling a transition from care by a family to a new life. Such an arrangement was found to be in accordance with the custom of farewell rituals, depicting a moment deeply personal in a neatly visualized way. The simplicity of the poem's layout allows readers to focus on such heartfelt requests by the bride and her unarticulated fears for the future.
