No vala grass fans were swayed, nor rose water sprinkled to lull the beloved to sleep. The head was not caressed with tender, sandal-pasted hands, nor were songs of love sung.

This couplet expresses a deep lament, describing the absence of loving care and comfort. The speaker regrets that they didn't wave fragrant vetiver fans to bring coolness, nor did they gently sprinkle rosewater to help their beloved sleep peacefully. With tender hands, cooled by sandalwood paste, they also failed to gently massage the beloved's head while singing songs filled with affection. It speaks of missed opportunities for intimacy and tenderness, painting a picture of sorrow over unexpressed love and comfort.
