The Light of His Revelations - I

And so this light of eternal Unity
Has shone in all ages and among all nations,

Through chosen Messengers of Allah, who came
As men to dwell among men,

To share their joys and sorrows,
To suffer for them and with them -

Aye, and to suffer more than falls
To ordinary mortal lot -

That so their messenger and their life
Might fulfill the eternal

And unchanging purpose of most High -
To lead man to his noblest destiny.
