1. They came claiming virtue,
Each seeking benefit for his tribe,

2. Not lowering themselves to raise you -
Rather, they saw your lowness as raising them high.

3. They established no proof to follow;
If they insist on their claim, then insist on rejecting it.

4. We believe God is Odd, and fear of Him
Is guidance - so pray the witr in life and in pairs.

5. Your world is an abode that contains
No righteous man - so weep not for its foolish ones.
