At one time, we too enjoyed the abundant kindness and favor of our beloved; this season of spring and happiness has passed over our lives as well.
This couplet carries the tender, wistful nostalgia of someone looking back at days once filled with love and warmth. The poet compares the beloved's affection to a fleeting 'fasl-e-bahaar'—a vibrant season of spring—recalling that they too were once drenched in its grace. There is no bitter complaint here, only a gentle, bittersweet sigh acknowledging that love came, flourished, and inevitably moved on.
