1. Praise be to Allah, though I've awoken mid-storm
Bearing the burdens of time like a lexicon's pages

2. They said, "Your god sent no Messiah to the wilds
Nor Moses with his staff held aloft in miracles."

3. Yet they made of the people a shared repast,
And for all mankind crafted a binding law.

4. If I'd the power, I would punish those grown tyrant
Till the robe of wrongdoing lay trampled and torn.
