Noble ways to set the spirit free.

Walk this path to reach the divine.

Contentment’s first, take what Jah provides,

Humble dog stays patient, where the heart resides.

Hunger it bears, like the righteous way,

Loyal to its master, through night and day.

Like lovers of Allah, hearts raised in prayer.

Humble like the dog, let our souls unfold.

Ten qualities shine, lift us to His door,

In Allah’s love we dwell, now and evermore.
