A ghazal is a type of poem that is constructed with couplets, repeated words, and rhyming words.

 

Urdu best Ghazal

 he lines of a ghazal are all the same length but there is no single rhyme scheme, in English, that has to be used. In the first couplet, the writing brings in a rhyme scheme with both lines rhyming. this is then followed by every other couplet in which the second line rhymes with the lines of the first couplet. Each couplet ends with the same word or phrase (known as the radif) in some versions. This word or phrase is preceded by the rhyming word, known as the qafia. (This is the word that appears twice in the first couplet and then once in every couplet after).

Sometimes a poet will choose to include something personal in the last couplet. This might be a reference to the author, their name, or a signature of some kind. The ghazal form usually speaks about deep, metaphysical questions of life as well as love and longing. They are usually melancholy and reserved.
