LAB PE AATI HAI DUA
(From the Lips comes a Prayer)
By Allama Iqbal
Lab pe aatii hai Duaa bana ke Tamanna Meri
Zindagii Shamma ki Surat ho Khudayaa Meri
Door Duniya ka Mere dam se Andheraa hu jaaye...
Har jaga Mere Chamakane se Ujaalaa ho jaaye...
Ho Mere dam se Yun hi Mere Watan ki Zeenat...
Jis tarah Phool se hoti hai Chaman ki ZeenatZindagii ho Meri,
Parawaane ki Surat Yaa Rab!!
ilm ki Shammaa se ho Mujh ko Mohabbat aaa Rab
Ho Meraa kaam Gareebon ki Himaayat karana
Dard-mandon se Za'eefon se Mohabbat karana
Mere Allah Buraai se bachaanaa mujh ko
Naik jo Raah ho us Raah pe chalanaa mujh ko
From the Lips comes a Prayer in the form of a Desire,
My life should emulate a Candle, Oh God,
A candle burns itself to provide light for others,
Lift the Worldly Darkness due to my efforts,
Every place should be enlightened by my Light,
My life should decorate my Homeland similar to,
Similar to, a flower decorating a Garden,
Dear God, emulate my life like a Insect,
I should fall in Love with the Candle of Knowledge,
My work should be to support the poor,
Those in pain and the feeble ones I should love,
My God save me from doing Bad things,
Please guide me, to the right.
