Why did you dip this rainbow-like water gun into seven colors? It's not Fagun, but Shravan; did you play Holi even now?
This beautiful couplet paints a picture of joyful surprise. It asks, 'Why are you coloring with a rainbow's water gun, dipping it in seven vibrant hues?' The speaker then points out the unusual timing: 'This isn't the season of Fagan, when we celebrate Holi with colors; it's Shravan, the monsoon!' There's a delightful wonder, almost a chuckle, in the question: 'Did you manage to play Holi even in the rainy season?' It playfully marvels at finding such vibrant, festive joy and splashes of color during a time typically known for its greens and grays, not the riotous hues of Holi.
