IV. A SONG OF LAL MALIK
1. He saith:
O God, supplication make I unto thee. Ah! hear Thou me! For this world is a deluder.
2. First sent He the holy Adam; yea, by the Angels was he made complete. Then Iblis ruined him, and thence (i.e. from Paradise) was he thrust forth. This world is a deluder.
3. From Adam was sprung the holy Noah, and from him the infidels became estranged. A sigh he uttered, and the whole universe was flooded in his tears. This world is a deluder.
4. In no way less than him was the holy Jesus. He was the beloved friend of God, the Master. Seated upon the four heavens did He utter His teaching. This world is a deluder.
5. The holy Moses stepped forward, crying, "I would see the Master with mine own eyes." He gave forth (the ten) words from Mount Sinai. This world is a deluder.
6. In no way less than him was the holy Abraham, who forbad the worship of idols. He it was who established the faith of Muhammad. This world is a deluder.
7. When I shall die, and my brethren and friends will lower me into the grave, then what can they show to me, Lal
Malik, but that this world is a deluder.
