My longings and desires adorn my lips as supplication;
May my life, Oh Lord, be the face of the pious illumination;
May my persona ornament my homeland with elegance;
As the flowers ornament the garden with their fragrance;
May I reflect the mettle of the knowledge-seeking moth O Lord!
May I forever seek love for the radiance of knowledge O Lord!
May I last to support and brace the poor and the dejected;
May I live to love the elderly, the needy, and the neglected;
O ALLAH ! Protect me from the evil and estranged ways;
Make me walk the path of righteous and benevolent ways.
My English translation of the famous nazm "Lab pe aati hai dua banke tamanna meri..." by Sir Allama Iqbal.
