Meaning: "travel at night" in Arabic.

Why do I love the night? Because while you were asleep a little wild boar came snuffling through the underbrush, but I scared him walking along the path and he charged, thought better of it, and veered away.
Why do I love the night? Because the moon, be it full and round or no moon at all, guides me through my travels, the open sky glittering with billions of dying stars. I love the night because that sweet song I mentioned earlier is the soft whistling of the wind through the trees and grass, it is the snoring of creatures old, and young, large, and small hunkering down for wonderful dreams, or terrifying nightmares. The night is where the nocturnal animals come to play, I watched an owl fly the other night


I love the night because of the dazzling lightning bugs that fly hard and long to find their sweetheart, their glows coming every few seconds in hopes to see a returning glow among the grasses.

Why do I love the night? I love the night because of all the things that go on while others are sleeping, things that during the day you wouldn't be able to hear, or see, things that if you didn't listen closely for you would miss that soft melody fading into nothing as dawn's song begins when the sun starts to rise.
