Lub Pe Aati Hai Dua…
Lab pe aati hai dua ban kay tamana meri
Zindagi sham’a key surat ho Khudaya meri. Ho maray dam say younhi meray watan key zeenat Jis tarah phool say hoti hai chaman ki zenat. Zindagi hoo maray parwanay key surat Ya Rab! Ilm ki sham’a say ho mujko muhabat Ya Rab! Ho mara kaam ghareeboon key himayat kerna Dard mandoon say za’ieefoon say muhabbat karna. Maray Allah! burai say bachana mujhko Naik jo rah hoo us raah pay chalana mujh ko. |
From The Lips Comes A Prayer…
From the lips comes a prayer in the form of my yearning wish
My life be guided by your light (nur), O Allah! Through my life, let my homeland attain elegance Just as through a flower, a garden attains elegance. May my life be like that of the moth who strives for light, O Allah! The light of knowledge may I love, O Allah! Let my work be supportive of the poor Those in pain and the feeble ones I should love. My Allah! From evil, save me Upon the right path, guide me. |
