as the moon peeks through clouds laced with light,
and peace descends as we sleep in the still of the night,
angels delight in exaltation, praising their Lord
while the pious recite the Koran, His unchanging Word
we are cradled in comfort till the dawn brings a new day
when we stir from our bed intending to pray,
then angels wing with our prayers through heavenly skies
to place them before the Throne of Allah, the Most High.
THE SONG OF THE BIRDS
Where do birds go to sleep?
as the moon peeks through clouds laced with light,
and peace descends as we sleep in the still of the night,
angels delight in exaltation, praising their Lord
while the pious recite the Koran, His unchanging Word
we are cradled in comfort till the dawn brings a new day
when we stir from our bed intending to pray,
then angels wing with our prayers through heavenly skies
to place them before the Throne of Allah, the Most High.
