What defines a Ghazal?
Is it just a collection of disconnected couplets about love, or is there a deeper philosophy behind its structure? In this episode of Radio Urdu, Babar Imam decodes the genre of Ghazal, moving beyond simple appreciation to critical understanding.
We explore the technical "fun" (art) of the Ghazal, answering age-old criticisms from scholars like Hali and Kalimuddin Ahmed. From the definitions of Matla and Maqta to the intricate rules of Radeef and Qafiya, we break down what makes this genre unique. We also discuss how the Ghazal is not just a Persian import but a reflection of Indian culture, blending local seasons, festivals, and emotions into its verses.
Featuring examples from legends like Mir Taqi Mir, Ghalib, Momin, and Daagh Dehlvi, this video is a complete guide for anyone who wants to understand the genre of Ghazal.
Topics Covered:
The definition and structure of Ghazal.
Criticism: Is Ghazal a "semi-barbaric" art form?
The technical rules: Matla, Maqta, Radif, and Qafiya.
The debate on continuity (Tasalsul) in Ghazal.
