rakkhi hargiz na tere rukh ne rukh-e-badr ki qadr
khoi kakul ne bhi aakhir ko shab-e-qadr ki qadr

izzat-o-qadr ki us gul se tawaqqoa hai abas
wan na izzat ki kuchh izzat hai na kuchh qadr ki qadr

rasti khwar hai us chashm-e-fusun-parwar se
han magar manzilat-e-makr hai aur ghadr ki qadr

mai-paraston mein hai yun saghar-o-mina ka waqar
jaise islam mein ho mohtasib o sadr ki qadr

kafsh-bardari se us mahr ki chamka hai 'nazir'
warna kya khak thi is zarra-e-be-qadr ki qadr
