1. I stood waiting for the night to come to me,
Hoping for a meeting with you, O my wish and ultimate hope.

2. The darkness made me despair of you, yet I would
Never despair whenever the night connects.

3. And I have evidence whose news does not lie,
By which the perplexed matter is inferred.

4. For if you had intended a visit, there would be
No darkness, and the light in us would remain unceasing.
