| Whose was the fateful wrath which made all idols shrink in terror just? “There is no god but God,” they cried, as crumbling down they kissed the dust.
When worship’s ordained hour was come, and furious raged the battle’s fray, Those men of Hijaz, staunch in You, facing Your Ka‘ba, bowed to pray.
Mahmood the king and slave Ayaz, in line, as equals, stood arrayed, The lord was no more lord to slave: while both to the One Master prayed.
Slave or slave’s master, rich or poor, no sense of difference then felt, For each a brother was to each when in Your Presence, Lord, they knelt.
And You do know we went about at sunrise or when stars did shine, In banquet‐halls of Time and Space, like goblets, filled with tawhid’s wine
Both heights and lowlands we traversed to spread Your message; O glad pain! Not even once, You know well, we strove against the world in vain.
