Parvardigar or Parwardigar[pronunciation?] is an appellation or title for God in the Persian language. Its literal meaning is sustainer, a name metaphorically and attributively used for Khuda or God.

The word has Persian roots and comes from parwa/parva meaning to foster, cherish, to nurture, to develop/care for. Digar, when applied in this sense, means "again and again." Thus Parvardigar means "to care again and again."

Many songs, qawwalis etc. are also sung using the word "parwardigar". Recently used in fitoor's title song
