I'm the goal… I'm the polestar, and all those simply white-covered people, like bright stars, go round around me! But I was envious… to the route! Though the route comes to me, I envied him; for it is a way to an end; with a beginning and an ending, guiding travelers to the point, the huge black stone: me! But I was wishful to be a way, too… beginning from earth, ending into Heavens! But that special day made me more envious. The Two, despite going around me, were not only the central point, but also needless to neither me nor any other way toward Him... They were a high way.
Still it was the route who could send Them off for this last travel.
I wish I were the route!

Nothing but soil, nothing but earth! I'm the main way, to that holy huge aim, leading all those people in white to and from there. But I was envious... to the saddle! Though I was the leader, the saddle was so close and comfortable to those on it! But I was more envious on that particular day! I knew it was the last time to see off The Two together… and I wished to be more and more with them.
I wish I were the saddle!

I'm grateful for my position in the world. I'm the necessary means for accomplishing the job. But I was envious... to the sun! Though I'm the at the top, the closest to the man and making riding a possible job, it was sun who showed the way from up there in the heavens! But I got more envious on that very day! I was the captain of all my friends, ascending them to the top, being the proper place for The Two to stop, yet envious of the sun; to be not only a shining light, but also an all-day spectator to The Two on that last time.
I wish I were sun!
***
Concentration of the lights, separating days and nights, leader of the people who are wise, that high in the azure skies, I'm the most prosperous among the stars; but I was envious...!
I could see everything; when The Two stirred around the huge black stone; when They stepped on the route to return; when They stopped and the saddles were piled… and when They went up! And then we all saw and bowed to the Glory… to the Light... and to the only Right… to The Two!
I envied the man for his Excellency and transparency. He was the one of The Two to remain, the one to be the next leader… He was perfect! He was ALI!
