This is a poetic prayer written Dr. Allama Iqbal in a very good way. It is liked by all schools of thoughts in the subcontinent.
Lab pe aati hai dua ban kay tamana meri
Zindagi sham’a key surat ho Khudaya meri.
Dur dunya ka maray dam say andheera ho jaye!
Har jagah meray chamaknay say ujala ho jaye!
Ho maray dam say younhi meray watan key zeenat
Jis tarah phool say hoti hai chaman ki zenat.
Zindgi hoo maray parwanay key surat Ya Rab!
Ilm ki sham’a say ho mujko muhabat Ya Rub!
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.
Lub pay aati hai dua baan key tamana mayri
Zindagee shama ki surat ho Khudaya meree.
Translation:
May longing comes to my lips as supplication of mine O Allah!
May like the candle be the life of mine O Allah!
May the world’s darkness disappear through the life of mine!
May every place light up with the sparkling light of mine!
May my homeland through me attain elegance
As the garden through flowers attains elegance.
May my life like that of the moth be, O Allah!
May I love the lamp of knowledge, O Allah!
May supportive of the poor my life’s way be
May loving the old, the suffering my way be.
O Allah! Protect me from the evil ways
Show me the path leading to the good ways.
May longing comes to my lips as supplication of mine O Allah!
May like the candle be the life of mine O Allah!
