Dua - A Supplication

Ya Rabb Dil-e-Muslim Ko, Wo Zinda Tamanna De;
Jo Qalb Ko Garma De, Jo Rooh Ko Tarpa De!

O Lord! Grant the Muslim's heart with that Longing;
Which may warm the heart, which may grant restlessness

Phir Wadi-e-Faaraan Ke Har Zarre Ko Chamka De
Phir Shouk-e-Tamaasha De; Phir Zoq-e-Taqaaza De

Then, shine every bit of the valley of Faaraan (a valley surrounding Mecca);
Then give the pleasure of watching the fun, give the eagerness of guidance.
(This couplet refers to the Qur'an 7:142-145.)

Mehroom-e-Tamaasha Ko, Phir Deeda-e-Beena De
Dekha Hai Jo Kuch Maine Auron Ko Bhi Dikhla De!

Give eyes of sight again, to those deprived of viewing the fun.
Show those things to others also, the things which I have seen

Bhatke Huwe Aahoo Ko, Phir Soo-e-Haram Le Chal;
Uss Shehar Ke Khoogar Ko Phir Us'at-e-Sehra De!!

Guide the strayed deer back to the Haram.
Then grant the vastness like that of desert, to the one addicted to the City(Ease).

Paida Dil-e-Viraan Mein, Phir Shorish-e-Mehshar Kar;
Iss Mehmil-e-Khaali Ko, Phir Shahid-e-Laila De!!

Create, in the empty heart, worry of the Judgement day;
Giv the witness of Laila's love, to the empty Mehmil(camel's back).

Is Daur Ki Zulmat Mein, Har Qalb-e-Parishaan Ko;
Wo Daag-e-Mohabbat De, Jo Chaand Ko Sharma De!!

In the Darkness of this era, to every worrying heart;
Grant that scar of Love, which shall make the Moon *blush*.

Raf'ath mein maqaasid ko, Hamdosh-e-Surayya Kar;
Khuddari-e-Saahil De, Aazaadi-e- Dariya De!!

In the elegance raise the dreams of us to that of the great stars.
Grant the freedom of river, & self respect of its Shore
(Surayya = seven stars that are seen together, named "Pleiades" )

Be Lous-e-Mohabbath Ho, Be Baak-e-Sadaaqat Ho;
Seenon Mein Ujaala Kar, Dil Soorat-e-Meena De!!

Let the Love for You be free of impurity, speech of truth be fearless;
Enlighten our hearts, and make it clear like Crystal.

Ehsaas Inaayat Kar, Aasar-e-Museebat Ka;
Imroz Ki Shorish Mein, Andesha-e-Farda De!!

Grant the feelings of the signs of Calamity;
In today's conflict and disorder, instill a fear of tomorrow.

Main Bulbul-e-Naalan Hoon, Ek Ujde Glistaan Ka
Taaseer Ka Saa'il Hoon, Mohtaaj Ko Daata De!!

I am the grieving bird of the ruined garden;
The beggar of acceptance; Grant the needy of his needs.
(i.e O Lord accept my supplication)

Farman-e-Khuda

Uttho Mere Duniya Ke Gareebon Ko Jaga Do!!
Kaakh-e-Umra Ke Dar-o-Deewaar Hila Do!!

Rise up and awaken the poor of My world!
Shake the doors & walls of the mansions of the great
Garmao Ghulaamon Ka Lahoo Soz-e-Yakeen Se;
Kunjishk Ke Firomaya Ko Shaheen Se Lada Do!!

Heat the blood of slaves with the burn of complete Faith.
Level the humbleness of the Sparrow with the fearless Falcon.
Sultani-e-Jamhoor Ka Aata Hai Zamaana;
Jo Naqsh-e-Kohan Tumko Nazar Aaye Mita Do!!
The reign of the Kingdom of Democracy is coming.
Remove any sign of archaism (old kind of system) you come across.

Jis Khet Se Dehkaan Ko Muyassar Nahi Rozi;
Uss Khet Ke Har Koshah-e-Gandum Ko Jala Do!!
The field which doesn't yield a livelihood to farmers;
Burn every stack of wheat from that field.

Kyun Khaaliq-o-Makhlooq Mein Haayal Rahen Parde?
Peeran-e-Kaleesa Ko Kaleesa Se Utha Do!!
Why should there be veils between the Creator & His creations?
Remove all the intermediary priests from the worship places.

Haq Ra Ba-Sajoode, Sanaman Ra Ba-Tawaafe
Behtar Hai, Charagh-e-Haram-o-Dair Bujha Do!!
For Truth you do prostration, for idols you do circumambuluation.It is better to remove light from all the holy places.

Main Na-Khush-o-Bezaar Hoon Mar Mar Ki Silon Se;
Mere Liye Mitti Ke Haram Aur Bana Do!!

I am unhappy and dissatisfied with slabs of marble;
Build another 'Haram' (Kaaba) out of 'mud' for me!

Tehzeeb-e-Navi Kaargah-e-Sheesha Garaan Hai
Aadaab-e-Junoon Shayar-e-Mashriq Ko Sikha Do!!

The contemporary culture is burdensome as a workshop of brittle glass!
Teach the poet of the East, poetry filled with passion!!

Farishton Ka Geet

Aqal hai Be-Zamaam Abhi, Ishq Hai Be-Maqaam Abhi;
Naqsh Gare Azal, Tera Naqsh Hai Natamaam Abhi

Yet Reason is without control, Yet Love is without home;
O Planner of Eternity(God), Your plan is unfinished yet.

Khalk-e-Khuda Ki Ghaat Mein, Rind-o-Faqeeh, Meer-o-Peer;
Tere Jahaan Mein Hai Wahi Gardish-e-Subaho-o-Shaam Abhi.

The miscreants, intellectuals, kings & saints, are waiting for an anguish.
Your world still is the same cycle of mornings & evenings of sins.

Tere Ameer Maal Mast; Tere Fakeer Haal Mast;
Banda Hai Kochah Gard Abhi Khwaajah Buland Baam Abhi.

The rich are drunk with wealth; The pious are drunk with health;
The homeless wander in the streets, The lords of houses are under great Mansions

Daanish-o-Deen-o-ilm-o-Fun, Bandagi-e-Hawas Tamaam;
Ishq-e-Garah Kushaye Ka, Faiz Nahi Hai Aam Abhi

Knowledge, religion, art & science, are all slaves of Lust;
Your Love, that solves all riddles, is yet to become common among all.

Jauhar-e-Zindagi Hai Ishq, Jauhar-e-Ishq Hai Khudi;
Aah Ke Hai Ye Tegh-e-Tez, Pardagi-e-Niyaam Abhi

The essence of life is love, the essence of love is Self-hood;
Alas! This keen sword is still in the cover of its sheath.
