GHAZAL: An Arabic/Persian/Urdu/Hindi form of poetry which is just like the sonnet in English literature. It is addressed to one's beloved, often in allegorical style and connotations, while at times it is written in admiration of the beloved as a praise. What distinguishes the GHAZAL from the sonnet and all forms of other poetry is that every verse in the ghazal is independent of the other...in theme or in topic. Some modern-day ghazals have however broken off from the classical pattern.
This ghazal is in fact inspired by a very famous one by Mirza Ghalib who is regarded as the greatest Urdu poet India has given to the literary world so far.
