The ghazal is a classical form of poetry that began in Arabic literature around the 7th century. It started as part of the larger qasida (ode) form and later became an important part of Persian and South Asian literary culture. A ghazal is made up of couplets called shers and follows strict rules, including a consistent rhyme (qafiya), a repeated word or phrase (radif), and a specific rhythm or meter (behr). Each couplet carries its own meaning, but all are connected through themes like love, longing, separation, spiritual thought, and the beauty of unfulfilled desires. Ghazals have stayed close to listeners' hearts over time, carrying forward a poetic tradition shaped by deep emotion and timeless themes. A ghazal doesn’t tell a story from start to end. Instead, it shares emotional moments and reflections, often using rich metaphors and layered meaning. As it spread through the Indian subcontinent, the ghazal adapted into languages like Urdu and Hindi. Over time, it moved beyond the written page and became a musical form. Adding music gave ghazals a new emotional depth, making them even more memorable and easier for people to connect with. Musically, the ghazal grew through artists who respected and elevated its poetic depth. Mehdi Hassan gave ghazals a rich classical feel. Jagjit Singh made them modern with softer music and smooth production, making them popular with younger listeners. Ghulam Ali added creative touches while keeping the traditional feel. Begum Akhtar blended classical training with emotion, making her singing powerful and expressive. Songs like Chupke Chupke Raat Din and Woh Jo Hum Mein Tum Mein Qarar Tha became timeless favorites, showing how poetry and music can blend beautifully. Other voices also shaped the journey of ghazal into mainstream music. Singers like Talat Mahmood, Talat Aziz, Pankaj Udhas, Hariharan, Bhupinder Singh, Chitra Singh and Anup Jalota each brought their own emotional style to the genre. Their songs Phir Chhidi Raat, Na Jaane Kya Hua, Dil Dhoondta Hai, Main Nashe Mein Hoon and Ek Akela Is Sheher Mein introduced ghazals to living rooms, concerts, and films, making the form even more relatable. Pakistani ghazals also played a key role in this journey. Voices like Iqbal Bano, Farida Khanum, and Nayyara Noor added a unique emotional texture to the genre. Songs like Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo, Dasht-e-Tanhai and Woh Ishq Jo Hum Se Rooth Gaya became iconic not only in Pakistan but across borders. These singers helped keep the spirit of the ghazal alive, deep, delicate, and rooted in feeling.
