1 dwell within a fence of Angels, eleven before me. If Mahamad 
be oppressed, then will I be oppressed. If the sun, moon and 
stars be not oppressed, neither shall I be oppressed. And if the 
earth and heavens be oppressed then shall I be oppressed. If the 
earth and heaven be not oppressed, neither shall I be oppressed. 
If the dead bodies In the grave be oppressed, I also wull be oppress¬

God! and grant that I may wear a prayer of a thousand lives, that I 
may not be oppressed by all that breathe upon this world.
