  • Learn from your father (Adam), O clear-browed man: he said heretofore, “O our Lord” and “We have done wrong.”
  • He made no excuse, nor did he invent falsehood nor lift up the banner of deceit and evasion. 1390
  • That Iblís, on the other hand, began to dispute, saying, “I was red-faced (honourable): Thou hast made me yellow (disgraced).
  • The colour is Thy colour: Thou art my dyer, Thou art the origin of my sin and bane and brand.”
  • Beware! Recite (the text) because Thou hast seduced me, in order that you may not become a necessitarian and may not weave untruth.
  • How long will you leap up the tree of necessitarianism and lay your free-will aside,
  • Like that Iblís and his progeny, (engaged) in battle and argument with God? 1395
  • How should there be compulsion when you are trailing your skirt (sweeping along) into sin with such complacence?
  • Does any one under compulsion walk so complacently? Does any one, having lost his way’, go dancing (gleefully) like that?
