Even during the cold of Christmas, their warm gaze remained upon me, turning December into the scorching heat of June for me.
This couplet playfully contrasts the freezing chill of late December with the blazing heat of passion. Even during the winter of Christmas, the beloved's intense and fiery gaze fell upon the lover with such warmth that it felt like the scorching heat of June. It beautifully captures how for someone in love, the outside weather is irrelevant—the true season of the heart is completely ruled by the beloved's eyes.
