Indian ghazal

An Indian ghazal is a poetic form originating from Persian, featuring short, rhymed couplets that explore themes of love, longing, spirituality, and emotion. It emphasizes musicality, with each couplet standing independently yet connected through a shared mood or theme. In India, ghazals are often sung with melodies, blending poetry and music to evoke deep emotional responses. They have a rich tradition in Urdu, Hindi, and other regional languages, and are performed at cultural gatherings, offering an expressive way to reflect on life's complexities and spiritual insights.
