DIEU VOUS GARDE.

DIEU VOUS GARDE.

MAY Allah in thy heart unfoldPerpetual-blooming roses;May His sweet peace to thee increaseUntil the evening closes.And may tall palms before thee rise,Hot sand to gardens turning;May dates and wine be always thine,Amid the desert’s burning.Let enemies be put to flight,Before thy spear uplifted,And may thy way be as a dayFrom starry vistas drifted.Oh, Allah watches through the night,His trustful children viewing;His love is deep, but he will keepRenewing and renewing.
