Assuredly they think too highly of themselves and are scornful with great prideThey who look not forward to meet Us say, "If the angels be not sent down to us, or unless we behold our Lord. . . ." Ah! they are proud of heart, and exceed with great excessAnd those who do not hope to meet us say, 'Unless the angels be sent down to us, or we see our Lord....!'
