Translation
On my lips is coming a wish-like prayer Lord! May my life burn like a candle-like fire!
With my breath may the darkness depart, With my light let every corner ignite.
Let my breath add to the beauty of my nation Like how a flower adds to the beauty of a garden
I wish my life were a moth, O lord! In love if I was with the flame of knowledge, O Lord!
May my task be to defend the poor To love those who at heart are weak and sore
O My Allah! Save me from doing what is bad On the path that is right, on that You lead!
Note: Original poem entitled Bache ki Dua by Allama Iqbal. English translation by Jaihoon.
JAIHOON
