My wishes come as prayer on lips of mine

O Allah! May my life alight as candles shine?

May worlds’ gloom vanish through my being?

May every place glow with my radiant being

May my homeland get esteem through me!

Like the flowers flourish garden with glee

May my life be similar to a moth O Lord!

May I also love insight knowledge, O Lord!

May I be supportive to the poor in need!

To love and care the old and help in need

O Lord! Protect me from immoral deeds

Guide me to follow the way of good deeds

lab pe aatii hai duaa banake tamannaa merii
zindagii shammaa kii surat ho Khudaayaa merii

duur duniyaa kaa mere dam a.Ndheraa no jaaye
har jagah mere chamakane se ujaalaa ho jaaye

ho mere dam se yuu.N hii mere watan kii ziinat
jis tarah phuul se hotii hai chaman kii ziinat

zindagii ho merii parawaane kii surat yaa rab
ilm kii shammaa se ho mujhako mohabbat yaa rab

ho meraa kaam Gariibo.n kii himaayat karanaa
dard-ma.ndo.n se zaiifo.n se mohabbat karanaa

mere allaah buraaii se bachaanaa mujhako
nek jo raah ho us raah pe chalaanaa mujhako
