History of the Ghazal
An informative and immensely readable history of the ghazal , from its beginning in Arabic poetry to its spread to Spain, Africa, Persia and the Indian sub-continent, written by David Jalajel. Niranjan Sarker follows it up by examining the "Ghazal as a Form of Urdu Poetry in the Asian Subcontinent." The essay concludes with a short clip of Waseem Barelvi reciting a ghazal in a 'mushaira' (poetry meet).
