See what I’ve got from the world, nothing;
The fruit of my life’s work? Nothing:
I am the light of the party, but when I sit down, I am nothing;
I am a wine-pot, but when I'm broken, nothing.
They call the Koran the Ultimate Word.
They read it occasionally but not all the time;
A text stands round the inside of the cup,
This they con at all times and in all places.
