Lab pe aati hai dua

lab pe aatii hai duaa banke tamannaa merii

zindagii shammaa kii surat ho Khudaayaa merii

ho mere dam se yuuN hii mere watan kii ziinat

jis tarah phuul se hotii hai chaman kii ziinat

zindagii ho merii parawaane kii surat yaa rab

ilm kii shammaa se ho mujhako mohabbat yaa rab

ho meraa kaam Gariibon kii himaayat karanaa

dardmandon se zaiifon se mohabbat karanaa

mere allaah buraaii se bachaanaa mujhako

nek jo raah ho us raah pe chalaanaa mujhako

this is the poem which has been lingering in my mind for the past few days. It is beautiful. It is mesmerising. It is enchanting. It melts your soul.
