One Seeks What he don't have

A prayer in the End Of a Book.

Oh Allah! Give me food to eat
Give me cloths to wear
Give me home to live
Give me a respectful and content life

The Saint:
Man what are you praying for?
Ask for something else to Allah

Insha:
Oh father! what do you ask for?

Saint:
I don't ask whatever you are asking for
I just pary, "Oh ALlah! Give me faith.
Give me streangth to do good deeds"

Insha:
Father you ask for right things
One asks for what
He don't have......
