Lab Pe Aatii Hai Duaa
Lab pe aatii hai Duaa bana ke Tamanna Meri
My longing comes to my lips as supplication of mine
Zindagii Shamma ki Surat ho Khudayaa Meri
O Allah! May like the candle be the life of mine!
Door Duniya ka Mere dam se Andheraa hu jaaye
May the worldly darkness be lifted by my efforts
Her jaga Mere Chamakane se Ujaalaa ho jaaye
May every place be enlightened by my Light
Ho Mere dam se Yun hi Mere Watan ki Zeenat
May my homeland through me attain elegance
Jis tarah Phool se hoti hai Chaman ki Zeenat
As the garden through flower attains elegance
Zindagii ho Meri, Parawaane ki Surat Yaa Rab
May my life like that of a moth be, O Lord
Ilm ki Shammaa se ho Mujh ko Mohabbat aai Rab
May I love the lamp of knowledge, O Lord
Ho Meraa kaam Gareebon ki Himaayat karana
May supportive of the poor my life’s way be
Dard-mandon se Za’eefon se Mohabbat karana
May loving the old, the suffering my way be
Mere Allah Buraai se bachaanaa mujh ko
O Allah! Protect me from the evil ways
Naik jo Raah ho us Raah pe chalanaa mujh ko
Show me the path leading to the good ways
- Allama Iqbal
