lab pe aatii hai duaa banake 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 a gem from Allama Iqbal and my favourite dua. When I was a kid, my Ami used to sing for all of us in a melodious, sweet and effective way. I just love it till today.She learned it as a morning assembly prayer in her school at Aligarh Muslim University. When I entered AMU, I was straight into college and missed this oppurtunity. :-(
This soulful dua has been embedded so deeply into my heart & I cherish each word of it.
For some technical reasons I could not load the video here, but it is available at youtube.com

loved it..simply loved it... bahut nek sandes lipta hua hai is nazm mein..!
Without being communal, I just wished each school also adopt it 'sandes' & include it in their assembly prayers.
