Now, this yearning of youth is merely a sign of passing time.

This profound couplet speaks to the bittersweet realization that time is merciless. The poet suggests that the very yearning or longing (hasrat) for the vibrancy of youth is not a sign of youth itself, but rather a poignant marker of age. It’s the recognition that what we desire most—the spirited days gone by—is what proves that those days are lost. A beautiful reflection on the passage of time.
