Lab pey aati hai

19Jul08

When I was in Govt Primary School, Chak# 2 Shamali, tehsil Bhalwal, distt Sargodha, everymorning in school, all the students gathered at assembly point and sung this poem.

Lab pey aati hai dua ban k tamanna meri

Zindagi shamha ki surat ho khudaya meri

Door dunai ka  meray dam se andhera ho jaey

Her jaga meray chamkanye se ujala ho jaey

Ho mery dam se yunhi meray watan ki zeenat

Jis tarah phool se hoti hai chaman ki zeenat

Zindgi ho meri parwaney ki surat ya rab

Ilm ki sahmha se ho mujh ko muhabbat ya rab

Ho mera kam gharibon ki hamayat keran

Dardmandon se zaeefon se mohabbat kerna

Mery ALLAH her burai se bachana mujh ko

Naik jo rah ho us rah pe chalana mujh ko

Lab pey aati hai dua ban k tamana merai

Zindgi shamha ki surat ho khudaya meri

    I also used to sing the same “Dua” by Allama Iqbal in my school days . When we were in level 2 or 3 , we used to get surprised that how baji’z n bhai’z are reciting such a difficult dua but things got clear when we replaced them in assembly :-)

    Beautiful memories and sincere prayer of childhood :-) Thanx for sharing MZ…
