ghazal
(redirected from Ghazel)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

ghazal

Monorhythmic verse form, or ode, used by Persian, Turkish, and Urdu poets. The two half-lines of the first line rhyme, the remaining rhymes being at the end of each line. The ghazal is usually erotic or mystical, and normally no longer than 12 lines. The poet's name is customarily introduced in the last line.

The principal exponents of the ghazal in Persian are Hafiz and Saadi. The poet Baqi (1526–1600) wrote many ghazals in Turkish.
