I go away, yet I have a heart that never ceases
I disappear, yet my affection for you remains
Its nightly journeys and early-morning departures toward you.
Its secrets and mornings still inclined towards you

On earth, its light accompanies me.

Your virtues, whose goodness draws me back—
Your qualities inclining me towards its good

Just as, when he grows intoxicated, he seeks a cure—
As one heals when revived
The man made drunk by wine—with wine itself.
By the wind with the intoxicating wind
