Gazel

Gazel (or Gasel) is a traditional Turkish poetry form consisting of short, rhymed couplets that express deep emotional or philosophical themes. Typically, it features a rhythmic structure and a rhyme scheme that links all the couplets, creating a unified, lyrical piece. Originating from Persian poetry, Gazel explores subjects such as love, longing, spirituality, and nature. Its concise, artful expression allows poets to convey powerful feelings within a compact framework, making it a revered and enduring literary tradition in Turkish and Persian literature.
