My longing breathes, a prayer upon my lips,
My longing breathes, a prayer upon my lips,
Oh God, let my life be a candle's grace,
Oh God, let my life be a candle's grace,
My longing breathes, a prayer upon my lips.
May my breath adorn my homeland's face,
May my breath adorn my homeland's face,
As bloom enhances gardens in their place,
As bloom enhances gardens in their place.
Oh Lord, may my life be a moth's own quest,
Oh Lord, may my life be a moth's own quest,
May love for knowledge fill my heart and breast,
May love for knowledge fill my heart and breast.
My task, to shield the poor and stand so true,
My task, to shield the poor and stand so true,
To love the suffering, the aged too,
To love the suffering, the aged too.
My Allah,
My Allah, from all evil, keep me free,
My Allah, from all evil, keep me free,
And guide my steps on paths of purity,
And guide my steps on paths of purity,
My Allah, from all evil, keep me free.
And guide my steps on paths of purity,
My Allah, from all evil, keep me free.
