वो अपने रुख़ की सबाहत को आप देखते हैं झुके हुए गुल-ए-नर्गिस हैं यासमन की तरफ़
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

They are admiring the bright beauty of their own face, appearing just as narcissus flowers leaning down toward the jasmine.

Explanation

Here, the poet paints a mesmerizing portrait of the beloved captivated by their own reflection. In classical Urdu imagery, the narcissus flower symbolizes the admiring eye, while the fair jasmine represents radiant, glowing skin. As the beloved looks down to admire their own luminous charm, it creates the tender illusion of delicate narcissus blooms gently bowing in reverence toward the jasmine.
