Meaning
The fragrance of the rose, we were familiar with that garden, / Where we used to wander, strolling with the gentle breeze.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the feeling of deep, comforting familiarity. The poet says that they were so accustomed to the scent and colors of the roses in that garden... that they treated the gentle breeze itself as a companion while wandering. It speaks to a relationship, or a memory, so deeply embedded in one's life that even the surrounding atmosphere becomes a constant, comforting presence.
