Urdu lyrics Roman Urdu Transliteration Translation

لب پہ آتی ہے دعا بن کے تمنا ميری
زندگی شمع کی صورت ہو خدايا ميری
Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua Ban Ke Tamanna Meri
Zindagi Shamma Ki Surat Ho Khudaya Meri
My Longing Comes To My Lips As supplication Of Mine
O God! May Like The Candle The Life Of Mine

دُور دنيا کا مرے دم سے اندھيرا ہو جائے
ہر جگہ ميرے چمکنے سے اُجالا ہو جائے
Door Dunya Ka Mere Dam Se Andhera Ho Jaye
Har Jagha Mere Chamakne Se Ujala Ho Jaye
May The World’s Darkness Disappear Through The Life Of Mine!
May Every Place Light Up With The Sparkling Light Of Mine!

ہو مرے دم سے يونہی ميرے وطن کی زينت
جس طرح پھول سے ہوتی ہے چمن کی زينت
Ho Mere Dam Se Yunhi Mere Watan Ki Zeenat
Jis Tarha Phool Se Hoti Hai Chaman Ki Zeenat
May My Homeland Through Me Attain Elegance
As The Garden Through Flowers Attains Elegance

زندگی ہو مری پروانے کی صورت يا رب
علم کی شمع سے ہو مجھ کو محبت يا رب
Zindagi Ho Meri Parwane Ki Surat Ya Rab
Ilm Ki Shamma Se Ho Mujh ko Mohabbat Ya Rab!
May My Life Like That Of The Moth Be O Lord
May I Love The Lamp Of Knowledge O Lord!

ہو مرا کام غريبوں کی حمايت کرنا
دردمندوں سے ضعيفوں سے محبت کرنا
Ho Mera Kaam Garibon Ki Himayat Karna
Dardmando Se Zaifon Se Mohabbat Karna
May Supportive Of The Poor My Life's Way Be
May Loving The Old, The Suffering My Way Be

مرے اللہ! برائی سے بچانا مُجھ کو
نيک جو راہ ہو اس رہ پہ چلانا مجھ کو
Mere Allah Burai Se Bachana Mujhko
Naik Jo Rah Ho, Ussi Reh Pe Chalana Mujhko
O God ! Protect Me From The Evil Ways
Show Me The Path Leading To The Good Ways
