Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua

Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua, also known as Bachche Ki Dua, is a duʿā or prayer, in Urdu verse written by Muhammad Iqbal in 1902. The dua is recited in morning school assemblies almost universally in Pakistan, and in Urdu-medium schools in India as well.
The song has long been sung in the private The Doon School in Dehradun, India, in a secular morning assembly ritual. The Imam of the Jama Masjid, Delhi, Muhibullah Nadwi, recited it as a boy in an English-medium primary school in India in the 1940s. Even earlier, the prayer was broadcast by All India Radio, Lucknow, a few months after Iqbal's death in 1938. The prayer has also been interpreted by an all-women's American bluegrass music band, Della Mae, which toured Islamabad and Lahore in Pakistan in 2012.
In October 2019, a headmaster of a government-run primary school in Pilibhit, Uttar [Pradesh, India], was suspended by the district education authorities following complaints by two Hindu nationalist organizations that the song, which was being recited in the school's morning assembly, was a "madrasa prayer." Ali was later reinstated but transferred to another school.
