Confirmed with Jean Lahor, Les Quatrains d'Al-Ghazali, Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 1896, page 12.
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.

De beminnende melodie en kalmte van de nacht vloeit rond over de tot rust gekomen stad: en al het geluid Om ons heen dooft uit om haar te laten horen; -- en de zang in jouw ogen wordt ook zachter.
