My First Poem as an MBA student (Uff Yeh Nazar)

Have been thinking for long what to post next. Thanks for all valuable comments, and I got good appreciation for my poem of which even I m not sure ( I mean how i thought of it, bcoz I m more into romantic/sad gazals and song stuff, like all 'ishq ke maare' bechaare do).
Anyways, what I m going to publish next has got an interesting incident attached to it.
As a first year student of MBA I participated in "ANTAKSHRI" in my insti. My team has to sing as many songs as possible having the word "NAZAR". We tried but couldn't make it to next round. When I came back to hostel I thought why not write a song/poem/gazal, whatever u call it, which will contain a lot of "Nazar" words.And I came up with the following.(This one is light compared to the previous one)











"नज़र"
मेरी नज़र ने तेरी नज़र से,
सवाल पूछा है आज फिर से
तेरी नज़र यूं खामोश क्यों है?
मेरी नज़र से फिर आज मिल के
कैसे बताएं है कितना मुश्किल ,
नज़र मिलाना भी अब तो तुम से। ....
मेरी नज़र ने तेरी नज़र से.........................

है देखो दुनिया बड़ी ही ज़ालिम ,
छिपा सकेंगे ना तुमको इससे
तुम्ही बताओ कैसे कह दें ,
हो रौशनी तुम मेरी नज़र के
है दर्द कितना मेरे जिगर में ,
कभी तो देखो मेरी नज़र से।........
मेरी नज़र ने तेरी नज़र से.........................

कहो ना कुछ भी भले ही हमसे ,
ज़वाब दे दो तेरी नज़र से...................
जवाब दे दो ..............................

Waiting for your comments .

Nice work gyani ji..Not all posses the power of jotting their feelings in poetry..By the way the last line needs a correction I guess,though may b I got it wrong but it must be jawab de do 'meri' nazar se I think
