As the night drew to a close, my drowsiness left.
سُكْرِيُ — my drowsiness. This noun carries the attached possessive 'my', giving 'my drowsiness/drunkenness', and it is the subject of the verb 'went away' before it. The suffix ties the departing state to the narrator and makes the noun definite. Reading order puts it after its verb, but it is the thing that left.
