אבל בליליא דאיהי גלותא. 
דאיהי לבר מבעלה 
ואיהי רשות בפני עצמה 
אתמר בה 
אל תתודע לרשות. 
ובגין דא אמר דוד 
אם אתן שינת לעיני וגו' 
עד אמצא מקום ליי'.

But at night, which is exile, 
when She is without Her Master, 
and She is a domain¹ unto Herself, 
it is stated of Her:²

And therefore, did David say: 
(Ps. 132:4–5) *I will not give sleep to my eyes... etc... 
Until I find a place for Y”Y*.
