The Journeys of the Prophet Mani

Greatly he played the flute of God in India fully
Beautifully he played the lyre of light in Persia
Gracefully he played the drum of power in Babylon
Skilfully he played the harp of wisdom in Parthia

No land welcomed or even tolerated his music
Though his beautiful song reached the sunrise of the vast Earth
Shadow was vanquished by his splendid and bright appearance
Know that this musician was named Mani who brought rebirth
