Shaykh Haji Faruq Saheb r.a. said:

“Ham naaqis hein. Naaqis kaa shukr bhi naaqis hein.
Is naaqis shukr par istighfaar karnaa chaahiye”
We are imperfect. This means that our shukr will also be imperfect.
On this imperfect shukr we should offer repentance

“Maangne waale mahroom nahin hote awr darne waale ki hifaazat hoti hein”
Those who ask will not remain deprived, and those who fear will be protected
