“Ya Elahi Har Jaga Teri Ata Ka Saath Ho” is a profound Munajaat (spiritual plea) by Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (Alahazrat). This 15-verse masterpiece is a cry for Prophetic intercession (Shafaat) at every stage of the soul’s journey—from the throes of death to the final trials of the Day of Judgment.
یا الہٰی ہر جگہ تیری عطا کا ساتھ ہو
جب پڑے مشکل شہِ مشکل کشا کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Har Jaga Teri Ata Ka Saath Ho
Jab Paray Mushkil Shah-e-Mushkil Kusha Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! In every place, let Your bounty be with me;
When difficulties fall, let the King who removes all hardships ﷺ be with me.
یا الہٰی بھول جاؤں نزع کی تکلیف کو
شادیِ دیدارِ حسنِ مصطفیٰ کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Bhool Jaon Naza’ Ki Takleef Ko
Shadi-e-Deedar-e-Husn-e-Mustafa Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! May I forget the agony of my final breaths;
Let the joyous vision of the beauty of Mustafa ﷺ be with me.
یا الہیٰ گورِ تیرہ کی آئے جب سخت رات
ان کے پیارے منہ کی صبحِ جانفزا کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Gor-e-Teera Ki Aaye Jab Sakht Raat
Unke Pyaare Munh Ki Subh-e-Janfaza Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When the harsh night of the dark grave arrives;
Let the soul-refreshing dawn of his ﷺ blessed face be with me.
یا الہٰی جب پڑے محشر میں شورِ داروگیر
امن دینے والے پیارے پیشوا کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Jab Paray Mahshar Mein Shor-e-Daaru-Geer
Aman Dene Waale Pyaare Peshwa Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When the chaotic cries of “seize and take” fill the Resurrection;
Let the companionship of the beloved Leader ﷺ be with me.
یا الہیٰ جب زبانیں باہر آئیں پیاس سے
صاحبِ کوثر شہِ جود و عطا کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Jab Zabanein Bahar Ayein Pyaas Se
Sahib-e-Kawsar Shah-e-Jood-o-Ata Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When tongues hang out due to scorching thirst;
Let the Master of Kawsar ﷺ be with me.
یا الہٰی سرد مہری پر ہو جب خورشیدِ حشر
سیدِ بے سایہ کے ظلِ لوا کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Sard Mehri Par Ho Jab Khursheed-e-Hashar
Sayyid-e-Be-Saaya Ke Zill-e-Liwa Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When the Sun of Judgement shows its merciless heat;
Let the shade of the banner of the Shadowless Master ﷺ be with me.
یا الہٰی گرمیِ محشر سے جب بھڑکیں بدن
دامنِ محبوب کی ٹھنڈی ہوا کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Garmi-e-Mahshar Se Jab Bhadkein Badan
Daman-e-Mahboob Ki Thandi Hawa Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When bodies burn from the heat of the Resurrection;
Let the cool breeze from the Beloved’s ﷺ cloak be with me.
یا الہٰی نامہ اعمال جب کھلنے لگیں
عیب پوشِ خلق ستار کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Nama-e-A’maal Jab Khulne Lagein
Aib Posh-e-Khalq Sattar Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When the scrolls of my deeds begin to unfold;
Let the Concealer of Faults ﷺ be with me.
یا الہٰی جب بہیں آنکھیں حسابِ جرم میں
ان تبسم ریز ہونٹوں کی دعا کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Jab Bahein Ankhein Hisab-e-Jurm Mein
Un Tabassum Rez Honton Ki Dua Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When my eyes weep at the account of my crimes;
Let the prayer of those ﷺ smile-scattering lips be with me.
یا الہٰی جب حسابِ خندہ بیجا رلائے
چشمِ گریانِ مرتجےٰ کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Jab Hisab-e-Khanda-e-Beja Rulaye
Chashm-e-Giryan-e-Murtaja Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When the account of my pointless laughter makes me cry;
Let the weeping eyes of the Center of Hope ﷺ be with me.
یا الہٰی رنگ لائیں جب مری بے باکیاں
ان کی نیچی نیچی نظروں کی حیا کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Rang Layein Jab Meri Bebakiyan
Un Ki Neechi Neechi Nazron Ki Haya Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When my insolence and sins bear their bitter fruit;
Let the modesty of his ﷺ lowered gaze be with me.
یا الہٰی جب چلوں تاریک راہِ پل صراط
آفتابِ ہاشمی نور الہدیٰ کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Jab Chalun Tareek Rah-e-Pul Sirat
Aftab-e-Hashmi Noor-ul-Huda Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When I walk the dark path of the Bridge (Sirat);
Let the Hashmite Sun ﷺ be with me.
یا الہٰی جب سرِ شمشیر پر چلنا پڑے
ربِ سلّم کہنے والے غمزدا کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Jab Sar-e-Shamshir Par Chalna Pare
Rabb-e-Sallim Kehne Waale Ghamzada Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When I must walk on a path as sharp as a sword’s edge;
Let the Prophet ﷺ who prays “O Lord, keep them safe!” be with me.
یا الہٰی جو دعائے نیک میں تجھ سے کروں
قدسیوں کے لب سے اٰمین ربنا کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Jo Dua-e-Naik Mein Tujh Se Karun
Qudsiyon Ke Lab Se Ameen Rabbana Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! Whatever virtuous prayers I make to You;
Let the “Ameen” from the lips of the Angels be with me.
یا الہٰی جب رضاؔ خوابِ گراں سے سر اُٹھائے
دولتِ بیدارِ عشقِ مصطفیٰ کا ساتھ ہو
Ya Elahi Jab Raza Khwab-e-Giraan Se Sar Uthaye
Daulat-e-Bedaar-e-Ishq-e-Mustafa Ka Saath Ho
O my Lord! When Raza raises his head from the heavy sleep of death;
Let the ever-awake fortune of the Love of Mustafa ﷺ be with me.
