Strike the lemons so they bow their heads, give to the generous so they may rise.  
Thus, God created both mosques, hell for those and more for these.  
Moses built a sanctuary at the small gate, so the people of Zahir would lower their heads.  
Because they were tyrants and proud, hell is that small gate and humility.  
The explanation that God Almighty made the appearance of kings a means to subdue tyrants who are not subdued by God, just as Moses, peace be upon him, made the small gate at the outskirts of the sanctuary for the bowing of the tyrants of the Israelites when entering, saying, "Enter the gate bowing and say, 'Forgive us.'"  
Just as God made from flesh and bone, from kings, a small gate, behold.  
The people of the world bow to them, since they are enemies of the divine bowing.  
He made a dung heap their altar, the name of that altar is lord and champion.  
Their fear was from the dogs of God, their fear was from the sun of God.  
The supreme Lord is the recitation of those great ones, the lower lord is fitting for these fools.  
A mouse does not fear the lions of battle, but rather those musk-deer.

Stop, if I speak of distant matters, the lord will be angry and will know it is so.
