Maghribe says..

As the sun shines there will be another color

As the face signs there must be a diffrent brother

As the shape lies YOU GOTTA think much deeper

As the walk goes you gotta see much faster

As the talk tones you gotta be a good listner

As the body stinks you gotta smell much better

As the lady winks you gotta ease your heart temper

As the wish fades you gotta be a good runner

As the thought hides you gotta hear the wake up caller

As the whole departs you gotta bring that which gather

As the TRUTH lasts you gotta be an honest seeker

And As as my word falls i gotta be a good writer
