While mankind remains mere baggage in the world
It will be swept along, as in a boat, asleep.
What can they see in sleep?
What real merit or punishment can there be?

In the gallery of God's Command no statues
Of believers or unbelievers can be seen:
Deep in the ocean of "Other than God" lives
The snake 'No' who devours belief and unbelief.
