The ghazal (Arabic/Pashto/Malay/Persian/Urdu: غزل; Hindi: ग़ज़ल Marathi: गझल Punjabi: ਗ਼ਜ਼ਲ Nepali: गजल Turkish: gazel Bengali: গ়জ়ল Gujarati: ગ઼ઝલ) is a poetic form consisting of rhyming couplets and a refrain with each line sharing the same meter. 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 form is ancient originating in 6th-century Arabic verse.
