On the structure of this ghazal as a kind of loosely 'continuous' one, see 233,1 . Idiomatically, means something like 'hot for' in English, but in the general sense of 'eager for' rather than with any erotic overtones. And this sense certainly works. But when we see, at the end of the line, that it's the 'breath' [] (on this word see 15,6 ) that's the subject, we realize that the construction can also be read literally: the breath is again 'hot with' or 'hot by means of' the 'spark-scattering laments'. Thus we have a cleverly framed double possibility: either the once-and-future lover is 'eager for' the 'spark-scattering laments', or else he is already generating them: his 'breath' is 'hot with' them. To liken these 'spark-scattering laments' to a 'lamp-display' (compare 233,1 ) is to do them perhaps less than justice, for they sound like modern fireworks (or at least, like the simple 'sparklers' made for kids). Who wouldn't relish a stroll amidst such a fine show? And if the promenader himself, with his own 'hot breath', was creating it, perhaps that would make it even more brilliantly, or ruefully, enjoyable.
