Allama Iqbal
Lab pe aati hai dua ban ke tamanna meri
Zindagi sham a ki soorat ho Khudaya meri
Door duniya ka mere dam se andhera ho jaaye
Har jagah mere chamakne se ujala ho jaaye
Ho meri ummat ke dil mein itna chaah ki har qadam
Mere josh-e-dil se har qadam pe ujaala ho jaaye
Meaning
A prayer comes to my lips: may my life be like a candle light. May darkness be removed by my presence.
