The poet is going away from his beloved. She becomes very sad. The poet consoles his beloved over a temporary separation. He says that he is going away from her but not because he is tired of her or helps to find a better match for him. He is parting, because he wishes to die in jest. One day he has to die. So, before death he wants to keep himself happy. The poet assures his beloved that he will come back just as the sun comes back. He promises that he will return faster than the sun. He tells her that this parting is nothing in comparision to the final parting which comes with death. So, she should not shed tears over his departure.
