and say unto him, Didst not thou,
Thou Didst manifest it through Israel thy servant.
He says,'By God, wellnigh thou Didst destroy me;
whereby thou Didst confirm thine inheritance,
thou Didst, and thou art an ungrateful(wretch)!
And thou Didst that thy deed which thou Didst;
When thou Didst terrible things which we looked not for,
O God, which Didst not go out with our armies?
thou Didst well in that it was in thine heart.
How thou Didst drive out the heathen with thy hand,
Sir, Didst not thou sow good seed in thy field?
and thou Didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
so that thou Didst not lay these things to thy heart,
and Didst increase thy perfumes, and Didst send thy messengers far off,
Allah pardon thee! why Didst thou give them leave before it was manifest
Allah forgive thee(O Muhammad)! Wherefor Didst thou grant them leave ere those who told
And thou Didst that thy deed which thou Didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates.
