Let me tell you a story of a soul with dedication
With hardships or ease, finding strength, motivation
Wake up every morning, that’s a blessing; appreciation
Making the decisions on every situation
Never ever take what you have for granted
Leave a legacy, like tree roots were planted
Remain balanced, even if life turns slanted
Your Rizq was written, so remain humble
Remember it can be taken away, crumble
Take every step, but don’t fall; stumble
Yes we all need the money, and the will to live
But nothing compares to the smiles when you give
Plan to succeed, no stopping full speed
Share what you have without any greed
Even in the darkness, you should be the light
Save one more soul, it’s worth the fight
Bad deeds on the left, but you want to keep right
Think with clear vision, both eyes main sight
