About Humility ...

Humility is truly one of the qualities of the God-fearing ...
With it, the God-fearing one ascends to lofty heights ...

From the strangest of things 
Is a person who is ignorant about his inner state ... 
[Does he wonder] will he be in felicity or perdition ???

How will his life end ??? 

Will his soul
On the far-off day 
Be abased or elevated ???

Glory is one of the qualities of our Lord 
That are only for Him ... 

So steer clear of it ... 
And be God-fearing ...
