Divine Light

Original Urdu

اللہ کی روشنی ہماری روح کو روشن کرتی ہے

وہ ہمیں راستے پر چلنے کے لیے ہدایت کرتی ہے

وہ ہمیں غم سے نکال کر خوشی کی طرف لے جاتی ہے

وہ ہمیں اضطراب سے نکال کر سکون کی طرف لے جاتی ہے

یہ روشنی ہمیشہ چمکتی ہے، چاہے تاریکی کتنی بھی گہری ہو

یہ روشنی ہمیشہ ہماری ساتھ رہتی ہے، چاہے ہم کتنا ہی دور کyon ho

Romanized

Allah ki roshni hamari rooh ko roshan karti hai

Woh humein raste par chalne ke liye hidayat karti hai

Woh humein gham se nikalkar khushi ki taraf le jati hai

Woh humein iztarab se nikalkar sukoon ki taraf le jati hai

Yeh roshni hamesha chamakti hai, chahay تاریکی kitni bhi gehri ho

Yeh roshni hamesha hamari saath rehti hai, chahay hum kitna hi door kyon ho
