DUA

By Fatema Quraish Kabir

Let the ethereal halo shine until the last sunset

Let the hand of blessing exist until the last breath

Let this breath be until the existence of humanity

Let this youth in him glow forever

Let us see the divine in him forever

Let us see the invisible in him forever

Let the spirituality sparkle in him forever

Let me proudly call him my Aqa Maula

Let this dynasty of eons run forever

Let it be secure from evil forever

Let it be under the blessings of almighty forever

Let me be a part of the Dawoodi bohra forever

Let us hold your hand forever

Let us be under your guidance forever

Let us be in your built ambience forever

Let this prayer be everyone’s priority  

Let almighty consider this prayer forever

Let our divine father rule the dynasty forever

His blessings and favors though, non-reimbursable 

Yet until I repay a drop from that ocean

Until I contribute to existence of the dynasty

Until I become the proud recognized devotee

Until I witness the miraculous glory

Let this hand of blessings be on me forever

Let me be secured in my Maula’s domicile forever
