Page:The Luzumiyat of Abu'l-Ala.djvu/80



Among us falsehood is proclaimed aloud, But truth is whispered to the phantom bowed
 * Of conscience; ay! and Wrong is ever crowned,

While Right and Reason are denied a shroud.

And why in this dark Kingdom tribute pay? With clamant multitudes why stop to pray?
 * Oh! hear the inner Voice:—"If thou'lt be right,

Do what they deem is wrong, and go thy way."
