Ghazal is a poetic and musical form that emerged from medieval Persian and Arabic traditions, flourishing in Urdu literature of the Indian subcontinent. A ghazal consists of independent couplets (shers), each self-contained and capable of standing alone, yet collectively evoking a unified emotional theme. The first couplet (matla) introduces a rhyming scheme (qafia and radif) that is then repeated in alternating couplets. Ghazals traditionally deal with themes of love (often unrequited), separation, loss, and spiritual longing. When set to music, ghazals become vehicles for expressing profound emotional and philosophical states. The musical form allows for improvisation within a chosen raag while respecting the poetic meter. Ghazal singers include both classical musicians (who approach it with raag discipline) and lighter classical/film singers (who prioritize the emotional poetry).
