The Call to Evening Prayer
Allah ho Akbar! Allah ho Akbar!
From mosque and minar the muezzins are calling;
Pour forth your praises, O Chosen of Islam;
Swiftly the shadows of sunset are falling:
Allah ho Akbar! Allah ho Akbar!
Ave Maria! Ave Maria!
Devoutly the priests at the altars are singing;
O ye who worship the Son of the Virgin,
Make your orisons, the vespers are ringing:
Ave Maria! Ave Maria!
Ahura Mazda! Ahura Mazda!
How the sonorous Avesta is flowing!
