I see people as worse than the age that encompassed them.
So have any truths been found for humankind?

And indeed they have lied about an hour and a minute,
yet their hours and the minutes have not lied.

If I have no dwelling in al-Shaqiqah,
then may neither its hard ground nor the hollows between dunes be cleansed.
