جائے آسودگی کہاں ہے آج
جو زمیں کل تھی آسماں ہے آج
jaa-e-asudgi kahan hai aaj
jo zamin kal thi asman hai aaj
تم وہاں تھے تو دل وہاں تھا کل
تم یہاں ہو تو دل یہاں ہے آج
tum vahan the to dil vahan tha kal
tum yahan ho to dil yahan hai aaj
کل ادا دل کا حال ہو کہ نہ ہو
سن لو گویا مری زباں ہے آج
kal ada dil ka haal ho ki na ho
sun lo goya miri zaban hai aaj
اس ہدف پر لگائیں گے وہ تیر
دل نشیں داغؔ کا نشاں ہے آج
is hadaf par lagaenge vo tir
dil-nashin Dagh ka nishan hai aaj

A short ghazal on the radif "hai aaj" (is today): the ground of yesterday has turned into the sky, the heart goes wherever the beloved is, and the poet's heart is the target the beloved's arrows will find. 2 couplets of the original are not included here.
Short quotes only (up to characters): the book stays the author’s. Line breaks are kept — good for couplets.
