My heart was eager to burn just like a moth, and at last, it gradually developed a deep devotion to that candle.

The poet draws upon the timeless metaphor of the moth and the flame to express the heart's yearning for surrender. Just as a moth does not fear the fire but longs to lose itself within it, the lover's heart secretly desired this sweet destruction. With time, that quiet yearning blossomed steadily into complete and tender devotion to the beloved.
