How to Write a Ghazal 

Thank you for introducing a new style of poetry. I've never heard of ghazal before. I'll definitely look at more examples and attempt to write my own.

Great viedeo! It's a very nice exercise to pump up creativity. Thank you, Kaye. :)

I think you did very well for a first ghazal! Yes, I've read somewhere that the traditional form was one of praise or tribute, not unlike an Arabic form of an ode in terms of intention.

as an arab person, this was very fun to watch! i'm familiar with ghazal but it was so odd hearing it explained in english haha

I sing Hindi and Urdu Ghazal, your explanation enriched my understanding

"The lamp of heaven's gone, the darkness draws. Within the poignant hue, I pray for you. My grasp, my grieving hearts only solace. With every beat it sighs a say for you. Their days are swift, are those who know no grief. I wish these tears may carve a way for you. Let fall that faith, in hopeless union be In death we meet I shall obey for you. Perhaps the lord has virtued Yusuf's rhyme. Decreed he Thus Im kept away for you"
