POEM - HUMILITY IS STRENGTH

 

 

HUMILITY IS STRENGTH

Dr. Perwaiz Shaharyar

 

Don’t take my humility as my weakness

It is strength, in fact, for the success

 

 

Assertiveness is not a sign of ego 

Humility does not stand everything forego

 

 

Humbleness and modesty are cousins of humility 

You sacrifice for others, your own opportunity

 

 

Humility is God’s gift a trait of personality 

Greedy persons cannot give anything in charity

 

 

Intellectual humility is not like a liability 

Humble persons practice it to serve humanity 

 

 

There is nothing in the world like value of humility 

It is all about selflessness and spirituality

 

 

God loves His children for their simplicity 

Arrogant cannot walk towards gods vicinity

 

 

Dictators always destroyed civilisations in history 

However, Saints and Sufis’ survival is still a mystery
