To God the angels did complain 'Gainst Iqbal and did say That rude and insolent is he, nature he paints much gay. |
Though born of mud and water, yet a god assumes to be: Not bound to any home or land, of earthly ties is free. |
To throngs of Heaven he has taught, like man, to fret and pine. To clay-made man he fain would teach the wont and mode divine. |
