Let us see when the soul departs toward the realm of non-existence (death), for it has indeed grown restless and troubled inside this house of the body.
In this couplet, the poet beautifully imagines the physical body as a cramped, weary house in which the soul feels suffocated and trapped. Exhausted by the trials of worldly existence, the spirit quietly yearns to pack its bags and set off for 'adam'—the boundless realm of non-existence. Death is not portrayed here with fear or dread, but with the gentle anticipation of a tired traveler ready to return to ultimate peace.
