And distance from many people
Closer to God

Beat it, grind it, then eat it
Don't ask people anything

And what you earn with your hand

He is humble to people
For fear of being caught
The one who gives you some of his money
It is his dirt
And the interpretation of its filth
Nobody tells us anything
Otherwise, he would become despicable and humiliated in the eyes of people

Rich in people
Poor to his Lord

And they have needs for you
But be deaf and hearing among them
We are silent

There is nothing wrong with a man retiring wherever he wants
And if it is not temptation
Destiny is good
