Urdu poetry interprets 'dua' not merely as prayer, but as a reflection of a poet's relationship with hope, faith, and control. Ghalib views dua as uncertain, prioritizing action over waiting. Munawwar Rana sees it as absolute assurance and protection, akin to a mother's prayer. Kaifi Azmi portrays dua as a father's final blessing, a gift of trust when all else fails.
