Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua

Sebuah sajak berbahasa Urdu daripada Allama Iqbal seorang penyair dan ahli falsafah Pakistan. Lagu yang sering dinyanyikan oleh kanak-kanak Pakistan dan India ketika negara dilanda krisis dan masalah. Sekadar berkongsi. =)

Lab pe aati hai dua ban kay tamanna meri
Zindagi sham’a key surat ho Khudaya meri.

My heart's desire comes to my lips as a prayer
Allah, make my life as one of a candle, a guiding light,

Dur dunya ka maray dam say andheera ho jaye!
Har jagah meray chamaknay say ujala ho jaye!

My presence would destroy the darkness of this world,
And my burning light would illuminate all space

Ho maray dam say younhi meray watan key zeenat
Jis tarah phool say hoti hai chaman ki zenat.

My actions would be for my country, beautiful and admired
Just as a flower adds to the beauty of a garden

Zindagi hoo maray parwanay key surat Ya Rab!
Ilm ki sham’a say ho mujko mohabat Ya Rab!

My life would be like that of a moth that loves light and flies into it, O Allah!
Such would be my love for Knowledge, O Allah!

Ho mara kaam ghareeboon key himayat karna
Dard mandoon say za’ieefoon say mohabbat karna.

I would work not but to help the poor
And to fill the lives of the lost and old with love

Maray Allah! burai say bachana mujhko
Neik jo raha hoo us raah pay chalana mujh ko.

O Allah, save me from the evil and wrong
And keep me on the path that is straight and righteous.

Lub pay aati hai dua baan key tamana mayri
Zindagee shama ki surat ho Khudaya meree.

My heart's desire comes to my lips as a prayer
Allah, make my life as one of a candle, a guiding light,
