Fallen is the sun who gave us light,
Our lordly moon is veiled in night.
Our beacon fire is dead and cold
A hundred waves have o’er it rolled.
What could his light and fire avail
Against Lord Ráma’s arrowy hail?
In plain words: Vibhishana says their sun and moon, the light of their people, has gone out. All of Ravana's brightness could not stand against Rama's arrows.
