Dear Bob,
The sheet music for the 1933 "Love Songs Of The Nile" (Arthur Freed - Nacio Herb Brown) from the MGM film 'The Barbarian' can be found here:

The verse is there with its lyrics, which don't tell us much.

"Allah smiling on high
Moonbeams cover the sky
Stars gleam giving us light
Allah cheers the night."

Here is the film clip:

Which doesn't tell us much either.

Very kind regards,
Bill.
