Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua By Allama Iqbal (with English translation)

Original: Urdu

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 

English: Translation

My longing comes to my lips as supplication of mine 
O God! May like the candle be the life of mine!

May the world's darkness disappear through the life of mine! 
May every place light up with the sparkling light of mine!

May my homeland through me attain elegance
As the garden through flowers attains elegance

May my life like that of the moth be, O Lord!
May I love the lamp of knowledge, O Lord!

May supportive of the poor my life's way be 
May loving the old, the suffering my way be

O God! Protect me from the evil ways 
Show me the path leading to the good ways
