Urdu Ghazal

A Urdu Ghazal is a poetic form that originated in Persia and is now popular in South Asia. It consists of a series of couplets—independent but thematically linked—each expressing thoughts on love, longing, beauty, or metaphysical ideas. The language is rich and lyrical, often filled with symbolism and emotional depth. The form emphasizes musicality and rhythm, making it suitable for singing or recitation. While each couplet can stand alone, together they explore complex feelings and themes, creating a resonant, poetic tapestry that appeals to both the intellect and the senses.
