Sher on Aaina
This selection of verses
on mirror will surprise you at the very beginning. You would appreciate how a mirror that reflects our faces also projects the colourful images of this world. In reflecting the images of the lovers and the wide world around, the mirror acquires a symbolic identity for itself. Here, you are not before a mirror but you are face-to-face with a kind of poetry that uses mirror as a medium of complex representations.

aisā kahāñ se lā.ūñ ki tujh sā kaheñ jise
aaina kyun na dun ki tamasha kahen jise
aisa kahan se laun ki tujh sa kahen jise
