Praying to be rewarded isn’t supplication
Passion isn’t trade of one’s love sensation
Ardor is purely pleasing and flattery now
Faithfulness isn’t ritual and tradition now
Birds controlled in infancy to fly in the air
Grown up birds hence flop to fly in the air
It’s bygone time I much-loved life’s verve
heart now discard life’s delightful verve
Anytime missing the fragrance of thy love
Is a moment having no verve of thy love
My friends and foes both agree with me
Razia has no grievance against anyone
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
The Opening
Posted on: January 8, 2015
The Opening
In the name of Allah, The Infinitely Merciful and Eternally Compassionate.
Praise belongs to God, The Lord of beings.
The infinitely Compassionate.
The Master of the day of the Day of Reckoning.
Thee only we serve.
to Thee only we pray for succor.
Guide us in the straight path.
The path of those whom Thou hast Blessed
Not of those against whom
Thou art wrathful, nor of
those who are astray
This is the finest prayer of all times. In seven short lines the entire span of human existence and experience, individual as well as collective, has been covered. The first two lines give impression to man’s total submission to his Lord and contain his homage to Him. The third is a line which states man’s relationship with God-the Master of Doom’s Day-to Whom he shall be answerable for what he did during his lifetime
Whether man will receive God’s Grace for the good he did or be punished will depend on a comparative evaluation by God of all that he left behind-good and bad
The last three lines are a personal prayer of an individual seeking Divine guidance as well as suppliant of all humankind to God to show it the path of truth, nobility, humility and righteousness; the path of earlier people who trod the path to Divine Grace and Blessing- and keep it away from the path of the people who were evil and who received the wrath of the Lord. Grace includes material comfort, spiritual peace and inner harmony.
Dear Allah,! I want You to plant every virtue in my heart, as if You were planting roses and lilies of every color in a field. And I want seeds from those to blow into other souls, that they too may share beauty You alone can give——-amen
blessings for all
