Lab pe aati hai dua ban ke tamanna meri

Sher byAllama Iqbal · 1877–1938

Hinglish

lab pe aati hai dua ban ke tamanna meri zindagi shama ki soorat ho khudaya meri

— Allama Iqbal

लब पे आती है दुआ बन के तमन्ना मेरी ज़िंदगी शमा की सूरत हो ख़ुदाया मेरी

My wish comes to my lips as a prayer: O God, may my life be like a candle.

hai Ram ke wujood pe Hindostan ko naaz ahl-e-nazar samajhte hain us ko imam-e-Hind

sach keh doon ae brahman, gar tu bura na maane tere sanam-kadon ke but ho gaye puraane

sabaq phir padh sadaqat ka, adalat ka, shujaat ka liya jayega tujh se kaam duniya ki imamat ka

yaqeen mohkam, amal paiham, mohabbat fateh-e-aalam jihad-e-zindagani mein hain ye mardon ki shamsheeren

hazaron saal nargis apni be-noori pe roti hai badi mushkil se hota hai chaman mein deeda-war paida

ho mera kaam gharibon ki himayat karna dardmandon se zaeefon se mohabbat karna
