Confirmed with Œuvres de Jean Lahor. En Orient, Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 1907, page 40.
Note: This is not a translation. Al-Ghazali left no known poetry; these quatrains were written by Jean Lahor (pseudonym of Henri Cazalis), who imagined himself into Al-Ghazali's life and thought, adopting the quatrain form because it was current in Omar Khayyam's era.

La nuit, tu montes dans mon rêve, Lune adorable qui se lève ; Si pâle et douce, je te vois ; Et la paix nocturne est ta voix.

I have made of my love a world beyond the world, I have made of my love a garden of enchantment, Where my heart will sleep in profound peace, Where the golden moon of your beauty will reign.

At night, you climb into my dream, Winsome moon that rises; So pale and gentle, I see you; And the peace of the night is your voice.
