The same fairies are still present in Raja Indra's court, but they no longer fall in love with Prince Gulfam.
This couplet draws upon the legendary world of Amanat's 'Indar Sabha', where celestial fairies danced and one famously lost her heart to the earthly Prince Gulfam. The poet gently laments that while the dazzling spectacle of beauty and glamour remains unchanged, the unbridled, selfless passion of true love has vanished from the world. It is a tender reflection on modern disenchantment, where the stage is still set, but the magic of genuine devotion is missing.
