( Bache
ki du'a )
(from Allama Iqbal's Baang-e d'ra)
On my
lips, appears my heart's cry as a prayer
like a
candle, may I shine, my Lord !
May I
help undo the darkness in
the world
and
may the light within me brighten every place
May I
bring dignity to my country
like a
flower brings beauty to the garden
May I
be in my life, like a night-moth
and
revolve in love around the candle of knowledge
May I
be dedicated to helping
the poor
and
may I love the sick and the old
Please, my Lord ! protect me from all evil
and
guide my steps on the Right Path
(English translation by Nasir Shamsi)
Bache
Ki Du'a
Lab pe
aati hey du'a ban ke tamanna meri
zindagi sham'aa ki surat ho Khudaya meri
dur
duniya ke mere dam se andhera ho jaaye
har
jagha merey chamakne se ojala ho jaye
ho
mere naam se mere watan
ki zeenat
jis
tarah phool se hoti hey chaman ki zeenat
zindagi ho meri parwane' ki surat ya Rabb
ilm ki
sham'aa se ho mujh ko mohabbat ya Rabb
ho
mera kaam gharibo(n) se mohabbat karna
dardmando(n) se zaeefo(n) se mohabbat karna
mere
Allah ! Burai se bachana
mujh ko
nek jo
raah ho, us pe chalana mujh ko
( From
Allama Iqbal's Baang-e D'ra )
