Ae Allah...

A friend's status message:

Zindagi di hai toh jeene ka hunar bhi dena;
paunv bakshe hain to taufiq-e-safar bhi dena..
Guftugu sikhayi hai tune, ke main toh goonga tha;
Ab main bolun toh meri baaton mein asar bhi dena...

Since you've given me life, also give me the skill to lead it,
Since you've given me legs, give me the help to travel,
You've taught me to talk, I was dumb
Now when I speak give my words the power to evoke effect

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My response:

taqwaa: mein teri jeete hain,
muskura sakein itni taabish: bhi dena

-------

We live in fear of you o'lord,
Give us the warmth to be able to Smile :)

manzil ki talab mein toofan se bhid gaye,
rang-e-nusrat ko ham batn: ham jolee: na rahe

-------------------------------------------------------------------

In the quest to reach the destination I fought the storms,
to enjoy the victory no friends or kin remained.
