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 :)
