Meritable Islamic Poetry Part 3 and 4

C.3 But, created though he was in the best of moulds,

Man fell from the Unity when his Will was warped,

And he chose the crooked path of Discord.

And sorrow and pain, selfishness and degradation.

Ignorance and hatred, despair and unbelief

Poisoned his life, and he saw shapes of evil

In the Physical, moral, and spiritual world,

And in himself

C. 4 Then did his soul rise against himself,

And his self-discord made discord between kith and kin:

Men began to fear the strong and oppress the weak,

To boast in prosperity, and curse in adversity.

And to flee each other, pursuing phantoms,

For the truth and reality of Unity

Was gone from their minds.
