Deviation
“What’s declared to be a deviation?
What is ending day and night?
What’s the stain of chastity?
What’s the waterless bath?”
“Lust is declared to be a deviation.
Youth is ending day and night.
Women are the stain of chastity,
to which this generation clings.
Fervor and chastity
are the waterless bath.”
