Difference between 'Ghazal' & 'Nazam'

Sanaabc: You are right.

Yes I also read that Ghazal literally meant ' conversation with a woman', but with the change of time, Ghazal now covers variety of topics besides the original topic.

Nice... @Sannan

The discussion in this thread reminds me of Iqbal’s couplet:

zara si baat thi, afsana-e-ajam ne isse
barrha diya hey faqat zeb-e-dastan ke leye

:slight_smile:

For those who want to know what is the difference, refer to post number 4 and last para of post number 24.

To explain, let me use post number 13 :hehe:

uska apna hi karishma hai** fusoon hai, yun hai
**Yun to kehne ko sabhi kehte hain **yun hai yun hai
**
Tum muhabbat mein kahan sood O zyaan le aaye
Ishq ka naam khirad hai na **junoon hai, yun hai

**haairi taza zamaanon ki hai me’maar Faraz
Yeh bhi ik silisila E “Kun Fa **YakuN” hai, yun hai

**In the above, “hai, yun hai” is radeef, so it means radeef is a repeated words at the end of second line of each sher. If the “matla” or first sher of ghazal has radeef in both lines, then the ghazal is called ghazal-e-muraddaf and in 99 % cases all gahazal are muraddaf; however, gher muraddaf ghazal are also there.

Qafiya comes before radeef and the words always rhyme. like Fusoon, yun, junoon, yakun in above examples are qafia.

The above example also uses Maqta - the last sher where often poet uses his or her name of petname :smiley: like Faraz in this case.
