An act is nonexistent; it does not appear without a doer.
The deed is naught without the doer's hand
It comes into being when a cough has come from one who coughs.
The cough betrays the lurking cause inside

So all is made and perishable, the Maker’s creation.
All things created come from He who planned
The light of existence—through it our lamp burns.
The lamp of being lights our souls to guide
