@3Allah ho Akbar! Allah ho Akbar!@1 From mosque and minar the muezzins are calling; Pour forth your praises, O Chosen of Islam; Swiftly the shadows of sunset are falling: @3Allah ho Akbar! Allah ho Akbar! Ave Maria! Ave Maria!@1 Devoutly the priests at the altars are singing; O ye who worship the Son of the Virgin, Make your orisons, the vespers are ringing: @3Ave Maria! Ave Maria! Ahura Mazda! Ahura Mazda!@1 How the sonorous Avesta is flowing! Ye, who to Flame and the light make obeisance, Bend low where the quenchless blue torches are glowing: @3Ahura Mazda! Ahura Mazda! Naray'yana! Naray'yana!@1 Hark to the ageless, divine invocation! Lift up your hands, O ye children of Bramha. Lift up your voices in rapt adoration: @3Naray'yana! Naray'yana!@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR CAMP; IN THE AUTUMN WOODS by ROBERT FROST GETTING A WORD IN by JAMES GALVIN ESTRANGEMENT by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SHALL I SAY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON MADMAN OF THE SOUTH SIDE by CLARENCE MAJOR DOMESDAY BOOK: GREGORY WENNER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
