Let me share with you my most favorite prayer (Dua) equally famous in India and Pakistan, written by Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, ( 1877 - 1938) well known as Allama Iqbal. This prayer is chanted/ recited in assembly hall of primary and secondary schools every morning. Someone has nicely translated in English.
Let's pray it together!
My longing comes to my lips as supplication of mine
O God! May like the candle be the life of min
May the world's darkness disappear through the life of mine!
May every place light up with the sparkling light of mine!
May my homeland through me attain elegance
As the garden through flowers attains elegance.
May my life like that of the moth be, O Lord!
May I love the lamp of knowledge, O Lord!
May supportive of the poor my life's way be
May loving the old, the suffering my way be
O Allah! Protect me from the evil ways
Show me the path leading to the best ways
ameen!
