Zindagi shama ki surat ho Khudaya mayri

May longing comes to my lips as supplication of mine O Allah!
May like the candle be the life of mine O Allah!

As the garden through flowers attains elegance.

Darde mandoon say zaieefoon say muhabbat karna.


May supportive of the poor my lifes way be
May loving the old, the suffering my way be.

Naike jo rah ho us raah pay chalana mujh ko.

Show me the path leading to the good ways.
