Akbar is still intoxicated, oblivious, and walking on the same old path; let someone tell him, O dear friend, that the season of spring has already ended.

In this couplet, Akbar Allahabadi gently mocks himself for clinging to the carefree habits of his past. He is still wandering in the joyous intoxication of youth, oblivious to the fact that the golden season of life has quietly moved on. 'Fasl-e-bahaar' (spring) serves as a metaphor for the prime of life, and the poet tenderly asks a close friend to break the spell and wake him to reality.
