Narcissim in Writers
The word I came across is 'Narcissim'. All of us are narcissists to some extent. Only the extent differs, and makes a difference to the people around us, as well.

शायर नहीं हूँ मैं
English translation in Comments section …
अपने दिल को कलम बनाकर
तेरी यादों की स्याही से
लिखता हूँ मैं कुछ आशार
शायर नहीं हूँ मैं

तुझसे ही था वज़ूद मेरा
तुझको खोकर अमित
किसका करूँ इंतज़ार
मयस्सर नहीं हूँ मैं
