Selfi

narcissus ke pahlu mein baiThe hue
aks apna hi talab mein dekh kar

kitni sadiyon se apni hi ulfat mein gum
KHud-pasandi ke mare hue log the

KHud-numai ke zer-e-asar aa gae
aaine ka fusun is qadar baDh gaya

KHud ko taswir karne ki KHwahish uThi
apne hathon mein apni hi aankhen liye

muKHtalif zawiyon se nazar KHud pe ki
be-yaqin ho gae

KHud-farebi mein madhosh hote hue
iztirab nazaryon maraz ban gaya

ek waba ki tarah phailta hi gaya
nafsiyati girah jab ulajhne lagi

apni tashhir ka sar mein sauda liye
aap apna tamasha lagaya gaya

aur dikhawe ke be-sud qirtas par
naqsh-dar-naqsh KHud ko miTaya gaya

rup bahrup surat mein laya gaya
KHal-o-KHad gum hue

shaKHsiyat ke sabhi rang uDte gae
aur be-chehragi aks hone lagi
