hey guys , can you help me with this poem, my friend sent it to me, but i couldn't figure out the complete meanings from the individual words. Thanks in advance!

Beklenen

Ne hasta bekler sabahı,
Ne taze ölüyü mezar.
Ne de şeytan, bir günahı,
Seni beklediğim kadar.

Geçti istemem gelmeni,
Yokluğunda buldum seni;
Bırak vehmimde gölgeni,
Gelme, artık neye yarar?

No sick person longs for morning
No new corpse longs for the grave
Nor does Satan long for a sin
As much as I am longing for you.

My longing for you to come has passed
I found you in your absence
Leave your shadow in my groundless fears
Don't come, what can it benefit us now?

everybody does the same mistake..

it is

ne de şeytan bigünahı ( not bir günahı , and bigünah means sinless in old turkish)

so right form is

Nor does Satan long for sinless
