Ghazal poetry is an intimate and lyrical form of verse originating from the Middle East and South Asia. Thriving in languages like Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and now English, the Ghazal expresses the deep, often melancholic reflections of a passionate lover. The 'Ghazal Universe'—a blend of sacred, profane, romantic, and sorrowful themes—captures the audience's consciousness. Many Ghazal explore themes of lovers' separation, symbolizing a worshipper's longing for the Divine. In modern Britain and America, the Ghazal reflects a migrant's yearning for home and belonging. This course covers the knowledge of both classical and modern Urdu poets and their Ghazal, focusing on the foundational concepts of Urdu Ghazal, fostering an interest in literature, developing communication skills, and creating awareness about life, attitudes, and the environment.
