Can vice atone for crimes by prayer?

Doubt not but God who sits on high,
Thy secret prayers can hear;
When a dead wall read more

When a dead wall thus cunningly
Conveys soft whispers to the ear.

I pray the prayer the Easterners do,
May the peace of Allah abide with you;
Wherever you read more

I pray the prayer the Easterners do,
May the peace of Allah abide with you;
Wherever you stay, wherever you go,
May the beautiful palms of Allah grow;
Through days of labor, and nights of rest,
The love of Good Allah make you blest;
So I touch my heart--as the Easterners do,
May the peace of Allah abide with you.
