In an intensely dark night,
in a choked house,
I was sleeping all alone.

Suddenly He came,
broke my slumber and made Himself seen.
Who were You?
That slumber had kept me inert for ages.

O effulgent one,
You brought in illumination by opening my windows.
Now only light prevails,
with no trace of darkness to be found anywhere.

Into this awakened life of mine,
You pour Your sweet and affectionate love.
