"Take the flowers of shyness,
the fruits of contentment,
root of submissiveness,
young shoots of grief,
leaves from the tree of truth,
the bark of civility
and the seeds of politeness.
Start grinding them in the grinder of devotion. Add daily the tears of shame. Put this mixture into the pan of your heart and bake it in the oven of fondness.
When ready strain it in the strainer of the purity of the heart, mix the sugar of sweet words, cook it on the high flame of love.
When the mixture is ready cool it with the air of fear of Allah. Then use it."
