SATAN'S POEM

The Knowledgeable one knows that the peoples learning

contains some of the sea of my knowledge.

The lotus tree in the seventh heaven is the place of my

revelation.

For that I am all-hearing, the all-knowing;

glorified is my sanctity and elevated is my name.

Paradise is my wine and Hell is the heat of my scorching

wind.

Constellations prostrated to me until I was elevated.

Like the prostration of servants to the served.

And all those in the universe said to me

O God, Lead us into the straight path.

— So saith Shaitan
