From the F is Fâkâh, fasting.

From the K is Kanāat, contentment.

From the R is Rizzāat, devotion.

Three qualities that all Fakirs should possess; and the formidable nature of the pursuit is somewhat tersely told in the following Punjabi lines:

Fakira. Fakiri dur hai

Jitna lumba Kujoor hai

Chur jai tho piay

Prami. Rus

Girjai tochuk nā choorhai.
