 The following lines are a perfect display of the religious theme in his poetry.Command what you will, not what the fates ordain,
For you are the one, the overpowering one..

when tomorrow brings forth the day of resurrection..

You are the one in whose presence the fire of hell,
would at once flicker out if it were to see you..
