Then add "space" to the mix:
logh HurghDaq Hov leng
logh HopDaq Hov leng
logh qIjDaq Hov leng
{loghDaq leng} "travel/trek into space" appears in SkyBox S99:
HaDlu'meH, QuSlu'meH, SuDlu'meH lojmIt Da logh Hop Hut tengchaH.
vaj loghDaq lenglaHtaH Humanpu'
space station Deep Space Nine is the gateway for the exploration,
intrigue and enterprise that mark the continuation of the human
adventure into space... S99
There's no known noun for {darkness}, but the word does appear in an English translation of a {bang bom} in the script for TNG "The Dauphin" (or was it "Up the Long Ladder"?):
"I hunt in darkness.
The stars my guide.
The memory of you sings in my blood.
I seize the gift.
Carry it to your bower.
And lay at your feet the hearts of my enemies."
We didn't hear Worf recite it on-screen. Only one line has been translated by Okrand:
bomDI' 'IwwIj qaqaw
The memory of you sings in my blood (TKW 17)
... though the rest doesn't appear too difficult. E.g.
? HurghtaHvIS jIwam.
? muDev Hovmey.
bomDI' 'IwwIj qaqaw.
? nob vI'uch[choH}.
? pa'lIjDaq vIqeng.
? 'ej qam[Du']lIjDaq jagh[pu']wI' tIqDu' vIlan.
