kyā koī kam-zarf hai yā be-navā hai aa.ina
pher detā hai vahī jo dekhtā hai aa.ina
us kā honā yā na honā is tarah mujh par khulā
aa.ine ke sāmne jaise rakhā hai aa.ina
chor darvāze se ghus aa.e bahut be-chehra log
ā.ina-ḳhāne meñ tanhā rah gayā hai aa.ina
muddatoñ ke āshnā ne bhī nigāheñ pher liiñ
chhoḌiye jaane bhī diije aa.ina hai aa.ina
maiñ sikandar-azm huuñ fardā pe hai merī nazar
ġhair jo dekheñ to pīchhe dekhtā hai aa.ina
fikr kī saiqal se gar 'muḳhtār' ho raushan zamīr
ā.inoñ meñ is se behtar kaun sā hai aa.ina
kya koi kam-zarf hai ya be-nawa hai aaina
pher deta hai wahi jo dekhta hai aaina
us ka hona ya na hona is tarah mujh par khula
aaine ke samne jaise rakha hai aaina
chor darwaze se ghus aae bahut be-chehra log
aaina-KHane mein tanha rah gaya hai aaina
muddaton ke aashna ne bhi nigahen pher lin
chhoDiye jaane bhi dije aaina hai aaina
main sikandar-azm hun farda pe hai meri nazar
ghair jo dekhen to pichhe dekhta hai aaina
fikr ki saiqal se gar 'muKHtar' ho raushan zamir
aainon mein is se behtar kaun sa hai aaina
