O counsellor, love was born along with me, so how can we be parted; do twins ever get separated?

In this couplet, the poet playfully silences the moral advisor who urges him to abandon love, explaining that love isn't a habit picked up along the way—it arrived in the world at the exact same moment he did. By comparing himself and love to 'taw'am' or twins, he presents love as an innate, inseparable part of his soul. Asking him to part with love is as unnatural and impossible as trying to undo the bond of twins sharing the same birth.
