Muhammad rafi ghazal
Matla’a: The first sher in a ghazal is called the ‘ matlaa ‘.In its strictest form, a ghazal must follow five rules: A ghazal’s rhyming pattern may be described as AA, BA, CA, DA, … and so on. The ghazal’s uniqueness arises from its rhyme and refrain rules, referred to as the ‘ qaafiyaa ‘ and ‘ radif ‘ respectively. Ghazal couplets end with the same rhyming pattern and are expected to have the same meter. Almost all ghazals confine themselves to less than fifteen couplets (poems that exceed this length are more accurately considered as qasidas). For a poem to be considered a true ghazal, it must have no fewer than five couplets. Most ghazals have between seven and twelve bayts. The ghazal is a short poem consisting of rhyming couplets, called Bayt. In English, the word is pronounced / ˈ ɡ ʌ z əl/ or / ˈ ɡ æ z æ l/. The Arabic word غزل ġazal is pronounced, roughly like the English word guzzle, but with the ġ pronounced without a complete closure between the tongue and the soft palate. The poetic form derives its name from the first and the second etymological roots, One particular translation posits a meaning of ghazal as ‘the wail of a wounded deer ‘, which potentially provides context to the theme of unrequited love common to many ghazals. غزال (ḡazaal) – A young, graceful doe (this is the root of the English word gazelle).غَزَل (ḡazal) or غَزِلَ (ḡazila) – To sweet-talk, to flirt, to display amorous gestures.The root syllables Gh-Z-L have three possible meanings in Arabic: The word ghazal originates from the Arabic word غزل ( ġazal). In style and content, due to its highly allusive nature, the ghazal has proved capable of an extraordinary variety of expression around its central themes of love and separation. The structural requirements of the ghazal are similar in stringency to those of the Petrarchan sonnet. The ghazal spread into South Asia in the 12th century due to the influence of Sufi mystics and the courts of the new Islamic Sultanate, and is now most prominently a form of poetry of many languages of the Indian subcontinent and Turkey.Ī ghazal commonly consists of five to fifteen couplets, which are independent, but are linked – abstractly, in their theme and more strictly in their poetic form. The ghazal form is ancient, tracing its origins to 7th-century Arabic poetry. A ghazal may be understood as a poetic expression of both the pain of loss or separation and the beauty of love in spite of that pain. The ghazal (Arabic: غَزَل, Bengali: গজল, Hindi-Urdu: ग़ज़ल/ غزَل, Persian: غزل, Azerbaijani: qəzəl, Turkish: gazel, Uzbek: gʻazal, Gujarati: ગઝલ) is a form of amatory poem or ode, originating in Arabic poetry.
