midnight
Thy mind ever runs on the bowstring and the sword . These are great , but there is a greater . It is the mocking finger . At midnight , when Kaid goes to the Mosque Mahmoud , a finger will mock the plotters till they are buried in confusion . Thou knowest the governor of the prisons -- has he not need of something ? Hath he never sought favours of thee ? '' `` Bismillah , but a week ago ! ''
