lab pe aati hai dua ban ke tamanna meri
lab pe aati hai dua ban ke tamanna meri
lab pe aati hai dua ban ke tamanna meri
zindagi shamma ki surat ho, khudaya meri
lab pe aati hai dua ban ke tamanna meri

door duniya ka mere dum se andhera ho jaaye
door duniya ka mere dum se andhera ho jaaye
har jagah mere chamakne se ujala ho jaaye
ho mere dum se yuhin mere watan ki zeenat
jis tara phool se hoti hai chaman ki zeenat
zindagi meri ho parwaane ki soorat ya rab
ilm ki shamma se ho mujhko mohabbat ya rab
ho mera kaam ghareebon ki himayat karna
dard mando se zaeefon se mohabbat karna

mere allah buraayi se bachaana mujhko
nek jo raah ho, us raah par chalanaa mujhko

Upon my lips, a prayer takes flight, my yearning's form,
Upon my lips, a prayer takes flight, my yearning's form,
Upon my lips, a prayer takes flight, my yearning's form.
Let my life be, O God, a candle's burning norm.

May darkness flee the world, extinguished by my breath,
May light ignite in every space, dispelling death.
May my existence be the pride of this, my land,
As blooms adorn the garden, held within your hand.
Let my life be like a moth, consumed by grace,
And love for knowledge, let it light my face.
Grant me the strength to champion the poor and weak,
To love the suffering, the aged, and the meek.

O Allah, shield me from the path of wicked ways,
And guide my steps, and lead me into virtuous days.
