بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اَللّهُِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم
Urdu Munaajaat

This heart that we have, full of Hawaa and Hirs (longing and desire), greed, temptations … This heart that has been immersed in heedlessness, negligence, Ghaafil of Allah Subhanahu-Wa-Ta’ala
Oh Allah! Change this heart of mines!
The Dunya of this heart … Oh Allah! Change this heart! Oh my Allah! Have Fadl upon me … Change my condition! … How long am I going to stay in Sin! How long am I going to pass my life in sin and vice and evil …
Oh Allah! Change my path! Change my direction!
It must be such that from now on …
With every heartbeat of mines, I must hear ‘Allah’ ‘Allah’ ‘Allah’!
I must become ecstatic upon that!
Oh Allah! I am going to sacrifice all these pleasures of mines. And in lieu of that, Oh Allah! Give me your Love!
I will move my sight, my glance away from everybody besides you… and I will live now, just for Your sake!
Everything! My living, my dying must be only for Allah Subhanahu-Wa-Ta’ala … Oh Allah! I want to remember you continuously! Not just for a day and then back to heedlessness … Oh Allah! I have made up my mind! I have made up my mind! I am going to make this Mujahada now! Ya Allah, You make it Sahl (easy) for me!
Oh Allah! Shower your mercy upon me! Change my condition! I’m sitting at your doorstep my Allah! I’m lying at your doorstep with a broken heart! This heart is full of temptations! Now, I am making a sacrifice of these temptations. My heart has been broken, it has been shattered Oh my Allah!
Why should I live in this shattered condition! Oh Allah! This Arzoo (hope/desire) I have … and whatever Umeed (hope/expectation) , all I need now Allah is your Love! This is my Tamanna (desire) now! Oh Allah, listen to my cry, listen to my plea!
Oh my Master, my Guardian, my Protector, my Custodian, make me your true servant! Make me your true servant!
Oh Allah! Change my condition …

Mera Dil Badal De
Hawa-o-Hirs wala dil badal de
Mera Ghaflat me dooba dil badal de
Badal de Dil ki dunya dil badal de
Khudaya Fazl farmaa dil badal de
Hawa-o-Hirs wala dil badal de
Mera Ghaflat me dooba dil badal de
Badal de Dil ki dunya dil badal de
Khudaya Fazl farmaa dil badal de
Gunah gaari main kab tak Umr kaatoun
Badal de Mera rasta dil badal de
Sunoun Main naam Tera dharkano Main
Maza aajaye Maula dil badal de
Karoun Qurbaan Apni Saari Khushiyaan
Tu apna ghum ata kar dil badal de
Hawa-o-Hirs wala dil badal de
Mera Ghaflat me dooba dil badal de
Hataaloun aankh apni Maa-siwa say
Jiyoun Mein Teri khatir dil badal de
Sahl farmaa musalsal yaad apni
Khudaya Raham farmaa dil badal de
Para houn Teray dar par dil shikasta
Rahoun kyu dil shikasta dil badal de
Tera hojaoun itni arzoo hay
Bas itni hay tamanna dil badal de
Meri faryaad sunlay Meray Maula
Banalay apna banda dil badal de
Sunoun Main naam Tera dharkano Main
Maza aajaye Maula dil badal de
Hawa-o-Hirs wala dil badal de
Mera Ghaflat me dooba dil badal de

Naath ~ Moulana Naeem Motala Saheb DB
Illahi Gunehgaar Bandah Hu Me
Oh Allah! I am filled with sins. Oh Allah! I’m a wicked person. I’m a cruel person. I’m an evil person. I’ve got no piety in me. There’s nothing right about me …
And we all have this feeling. Again and again. How often a person says that ‘I need to make Islaah of myself’. I’m trying. I just want to change my life. I want to come out of this filthy life of mines. Day and night I’m sinning. Committing zinaa, casting lustful glances. My tongue, I’m only speaking lies, I’m cheating, I’m deceiving the people. I can feel I’m trapped in world of Ghufflat (Heedlessness) and filth and evil. I’m looking for some escape, some exit from here …
I’ve got no strength to refrain from sins. I’m so weak. And I don’t even have the strength, I don’t even have the courage, to do righteous deeds. This is my condition.
Oh Allah! If it is Your intention Ya Allah! Ya Allah if it is Your will. Ya Allah! You are Kareem! The One who gives so much and is so Generous and the recipients of those bounties don’t even deserve those things. You and I get so much from Allah. We don’t deserve getting those Ni’mats (bounties) from Allah. Allah still gives. “We don’t deserve this”. Allah still gives us these favors. Oh Allah! If it is Your Iraada (intention), then even with the bat of an eyelid, one wink of our eyes, Oh Allah! You can forgive us. This Bandah (servant), La’eem (wicked), wicked, cruel, evil, filthy …
Ya Allah! From Your unseen sources, Ya Allah! Ghayb (unseen). Ya Allah! You create the means for this sinful servant of Yours. Ya Allah! To stay away and refrain from sin. I’m tempted all the time. When I go to my office and there are those pretty faces around me, as much as I am trying, I am getting caught in those pretty faces again and again …
Oh Allah! If it is Your help, Your assistance with me. If Your Nusrat (assistance) is with me, then what fear do I then have of nafs and shaytaan. When Allah is with us, then we’ve got that strength. That nafs and shaytaan which is trying desperately to pin us down, subdue us. And in this wrestling match with nafs all the time. When Allah’s help comes then we are victorious. There is nothing to fear then …
Oh Allah! I am Your Bandah (servant). Only by name. I’ve got a muslim name. A believers name. I am Abdullah, Abdur-Rahmaan. Servant of Allah. Servant of Rahmaan. Ya Allah! Just name only. Ya Allah! Out of Your Karam, Your help, Your favour, Your kindness, make me of some benefit, make me useful in life …
Oh Allah! This fickle-mindedness. A person is not constant. Sometimes he is very hot-headed, shouting at everybody. And sometime you see him opposite. Or he loses himself very easily with his family, but in front of his friends he’s like a sheep. Ya Allah! With your help and assistance, you give me this resoluteness Ya Allah! To change this type of Mizaaj (temperament) of mines …
