- Reader of the sutra: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- The sutra
- The night song
- It is night: now do all leaping fountains speak louder. And my soul too is a leaping fountain.
- It is night: only now do all songs of lovers awaken. And my soul too is the song of a lover.
- Something unquenched, unquenchable, is in me, that wants to speak out. A craving for love is in me, that itself speaks the language of love.
- Light am I: ah, that I were night! But this is my solitude, that I am girded round with light....
- I live in my own light, I drink back into myself the flames that break from me.
- I do not know the joy of the receiver; and I have often dreamed that stealing must be more blessed than receiving.
- It is my poverty that my hand never rests from giving; it is my envy that I see expectant eyes and illumined nights of desire....
- Where have the tears of my eye and the bloom of my heart gone? Oh solitude of all givers! Oh silence of all light-givers!
- Many suns circle in empty space: to all that is dark they speak with their light -- to me they are silent....
- It is night: ah, that I must be light! And thirst for the things of night! And solitude!
- It is night: now my longing breaks from me like a well-spring -- I long for speech.
- It is night: now do all leaping fountains speak louder. And my soul too is a leaping fountain.
- It is night: only now do all songs of lovers awaken. And my soul too is the song of a lover.
- ... Thus sang Zarathustra.
