Aatish Yahi Dua Hai Khuda-e-kareem Se — Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish
Meaning
O Aatish, this is my only prayer to the gracious God: O Generous One, never make me dependent on a miser.
Explanation
In this couplet, the poet Aatish offers a heartfelt prayer to God, who is generous and kind. He says, my only wish, O Merciful One, is this: never make me dependent on a miser. The thought is simple but deeply human. Being in need is hard enough, but having to ask help from someone who gives grudgingly, with a closed heart, feels even worse. So the poet asks God for dignity. If he must ever rely on someone, let it be a kind and open-handed person, not a tight-fisted one. It is a gentle reminder of how much the giver's spirit matters, and how a generous heart can make all the difference to someone in need.
