The summary

‘चित्र’ उपनाम से लिखी छोटी कविता स्वार्थ की प्रकृति पर व्यंग्य करती है। भौंरा ऊपरी सुन्दरता पर नहीं, मधु पाकर ही कलियों को छलता है; मनुष्य सिर कट जाए तब भी स्वार्थ नहीं छोड़ता। स्वार्थी मनुष्य मेल-मिलाप के योग्य नहीं रहता और स्वार्थ के संग्राम में सुख कहीं नहीं है।

Written by the archive’s cataloguers, not by the author.
