Today, the speaker's eyes are filled with tears, which are likened to drops of rain, brought forth by the memories of a beloved, even though there is no actual rainfall. This expresses a deep sense of sorrow or longing.
This beautiful couplet speaks to the overwhelming nature of memory and grief. The poet suggests that the tears flowing from the eyes are not just sadness, but feel like a natural, inevitable downpour. It's the feeling when the emotional weight of a lost love is so profound, it transforms everyday life into a rainy, melancholic scene.
