The Unbelievers
O, you all who call yourselves true believers
And unabashedly condemn the rest infidels;
Be ashamed now if you truly believe
In His words! No heaven nor scripture justifies
Witch-hunts such as those you committed.
Wake up and see the path you paved
To the Infernal Fire—for it is not in His way
You are striving! Yes, worship not others' gods
But nevertheless be silent; for they do not
Worship ours and do keep their silence.
Be silent if you truly do not sing to their gods
Like they do not to ours! Didn't He tell you
(If to Him alone you truly listen and in Him
Alone you truly believe, as you declared)
To they be their own ways, and to us ours?
