rakkhi hargiz na tere ruKH ne ruKH-e-badr ki qadr

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
