Righteousness remains the rock of faith, As what one does sustains what one believes. Mere hypocrites might pray, the Prophet saith; Actions must be words the heart conceives. Do, then, what acts and rituals are due, As faith becomes a flame that feeds on you, No less than as a fire consumes dry leaves.
