From: Peter T.

My God and Lord Allah,
Eyes are at rest, stars are setting,
Hushed are the movements of birds in their nests,
of monsters in the deep.
Thou art the just who knowest no change,
the equity that swerveth not
the everlasting that passeth not away.
Our doors are all locked, watched by their bodyguards;
My Lord, each lover is now alone with his beloved;
Beloved, thou art my beloved, Oh Allah.
'Abd Al-Aziz Al-Dirini (Purity of Heart), 13th century.

Found in an antique store, framed with beautiful artwork, copyrighted as the Buzza Motto, 1924:

The Easterns' Prayer

I pray the prayer the Easterns do:
May the Peace of Allah abide with you.
Wherever you stay, wherever you go
May the beautiful palms of Allah grow.
Through the days of labor and nights of rest,
May the Love of Sweet Allah make you blest."
So I touch my heart as the Easterns do:
"May the Peace of Allah abide with you."
