Allah
A
LLAH gives light in the darkness,
Allah gives rest in pain,
Cheeks that are white with weeping
Allah paints red again.
The flowers and the blossoms wither,
Years vanish with flying feet;
But my heart will live on forever,
That here in sadness beats.
Gladly to Allah's dwelling
Yonder would I take flight;
There will the darkness vanish,
There will my eyes have sight.
Siegfried August Mahlmann
(tr. H.W. Longfellow)
