Poetry Collection
A glance means so much to one who casts it, as well as to the other who receives it. In romantic poetry especially, a glance has a special meaning. Interestingly, all glances are not the same as each glance has its own angle and its own message. We hope that you would appreciate our selection on this subject.

faqat nigah se hota hai faisla dil ka na ho nigah mein shokhi to dilbari kya hai the couplet says that the first and deepest judgment of love is made through a glance. the eye becomes a language that reveals attraction, confidence, and intent without words. “shokhi” (playful boldness) in the gaze is presented as the very essence of allure; without it, beauty feels lifeless and persuasion fails.
kya kah gai kisi ki nazar kuchh na puchhiye kya kuchh hua hai dil pe asar kuchh na puchhiye vo dekhna kisi ka kanakhiyon se baar baar vo baar baar us ka asar kuchh na puchhiye ro ro ke kis tarah se kati raat kya kahen mar mar ke kaise ki hai sahar kuchh na puchhiye 'akhtar' dayar-e-husn men pahunche hain mar ke ham kyun-kar hua hai tai ye safar kuchh na puchhiye kya kah gai kisi ki nazar kuchh na puchhiye kya kuchh hua hai dil pe asar kuchh na puchhiye wo dekhna kisi ka kanakhiyon se bar bar wo bar bar us ka asar kuchh na puchhiye ro ro ke kis tarah se kati raat kya kahen mar mar ke kaise ki hai sahar kuchh na puchhiye 'akhtar' dayar-e-husn mein pahunche hain mar ke hum kyun-kar hua hai tai ye safar kuchh na puchhiye

karne gae the us se taghaful ka hum gila ki ek hi nigah ki bas khak ho gae the poet describes the overwhelming power of the beloved's presence. he approaches with the intent to voice his grievance about being ignored, but a single look from the beloved—whether of beauty or wrath—is so intense that his resolve shatters. this glance annihilates his ego and existence, rendering the complaint forgotten and impossible to express.
nigahen is qadar qatil ki uff uff adaen is qadar pyari ki tauba
ata hui kise sanad nazar nazar ki baat hai hua hai kaun nam-zad nazar nazar ki baat hai gul o sitara o qamar sabhi hasin hain magar hai kaun in men mustanad nazar nazar ki baat hai izafi e'tibar hai taayyun-e-maqam bhi hai past bhi buland-qad nazar nazar ki baat hai bure bhale men farq hai ye jante hain sab magar hai kaun nek kaun bad nazar nazar ki baat hai zamin agarche bistar-e-gul-o-saman bhi hai magar kisi ko hai yahi lahad nazar nazar ki baat hai koi chale tamam umr koi sirf do qadam kahan hai manzilon ki had nazar nazar ki baat hai ata hui kise sanad nazar nazar ki baat hai hua hai kaun nam-zad nazar nazar ki baat hai gul o sitara o qamar sabhi hasin hain magar hai kaun in mein mustanad nazar nazar ki baat hai izafi e'tibar hai tayyun-e-maqam bhi hai past bhi buland-qad nazar nazar ki baat hai bure bhale mein farq hai ye jaante hain sab magar hai kaun nek kaun bad nazar nazar ki baat hai zamin agarche bistar-e-gul-o-saman bhi hai magar kisi ko hai yahi lahad nazar nazar ki baat hai koi chale tamam umr koi sirf do qadam kahan hai manzilon ki had nazar nazar ki baat hai
khuda bachae teri mast mast aankhon se farishta ho to bahak jae aadmi kya hai
ada se dekh lo jata rahe gila dil ka bas ek nigah pe thahra hai faisla dil ka
sab kuchh to hai kya dhundti rahti hain nigahen kya baat hai main waqt pe ghar kyun nahin jata
saqi mujhe sharab ki tohmat nahin pasand mujh ko teri nigah ka ilzam chahiye the charge of being affected by wine, i do despise i want to be accused of feasting from your eyes
ye kin nazron se tu ne aaj dekha ki tera dekhna dekha na jae
aankhen jo uthae to mohabbat ka guman ho nazron ko jhukae to shikayat si lage hai
nigah barq nahin chehra aaftab nahin wo aadmi hai magar dekhne ki tab nahin
tujhe danista mahfil mein jo dekha ho to mujrim hun nazar aakhir nazar hai be-irada uth gai hogi
pahli nazar bhi aap ki uff kis bala ki thi hum aaj tak wo chot hain dil par liye hue
mohabbat ka tum se asar kya kahun nazar mil gai dil dhadakne laga
main umr bhar jawab nahin de saka 'adam' wo ek nazar mein itne sawalat kar gae
dhoka tha nigahon ka magar khub tha dhoka mujh ko teri nazron mein mohabbat nazar aai
didar ki talab ke tariqon se be-khabar didar ki talab hai to pahle nigah mang ignorant of mores when seeking visions bright if you want the vision, you first need the sight
log nazron ko bhi padh lete hain apni aankhon ko jhukae rakhna
un ras bhari aankhon mein haya khel rahi hai do zahr ke pyalon mein qaza khel rahi hai
aankhen na jine dengi teri be-wafa mujhe kyun khidkiyon se jhank rahi hai qaza mujhe
saqi zara nigah mila kar to dekhna kambakht hosh mein to nahin aa gaya hun main
ab aaen ya na aaen idhar puchhte chalo kya chahti hai un ki nazar puchhte chalo
jis taraf uth gai hain aahen hain chashm-e-bad-dur kya nigahen hain
dekhi hain bade ghaur se main ne wo nigahen aankhon mein murawwat ka kahin nam nahin hai
idhar udhar meri aankhen tujhe pukarti hain meri nigah nahin hai zaban hai goya
dekha hai kis nigah se tu ne sitam-zarif mahsus ho raha hai main gharq-e-sharab hun
