اخترِ شام کی آتی ہے فلک سے آواز

سجدہ کرتی ہے سحَر جس کو، وہ ہے آج کی رات

Akhtar-e-sham ki aati hai falak se aawaz

Sajda karti hai sahar jis ko, woh hai aaj ki raat

رہِ یک گام ہے ہمّت کے لیے عرشِ بریں

کہہ رہی ہے یہ مسلمان سے معراج کی رات

Rah-e-yak-gam hai himmat ke liye arsh-e-barin

Kah rahi hai ye Musalman se Meraj ki raat

About this qita

Two couplets for the night of the Miraj. The evening star calls from the sky that tonight is the night the dawn bows to, and the night itself tells the believer that for true courage the highest heaven is only a single step away.
