Muslim Prayer (Islam)
O Thou that art as the soul in the body of the universe,
Thou art our soul, and art ever fleeing from us.
Thou breathest music into life’s flute:
Life envies death, when death is for Thy sake.
Once more bring comfort to our sad hearts:
Once more dwell in our breasts:
Once more demand from us the sacrifice of name and fame.
Strengthen our weak love,
We are often complaining of destiny.
Thou art of great price and we have nought.
Hide not Thy fair face from the empty-handed.
Give us the sleepless eye and the passionate heart.
