Urdu poetry Urdu Poe try is richly quotable.The Ghazal, which is by far the most popUlar art form in Urdu poetry, is a string of t bought provoking couplets on varied themes of permanent human interest such as love and beauty, God and man, life and death, mortality, etc. the couplets of a Ghazal, bound together by the unity of mood, meter and rhyme, do not often generally observe the unity of thought and theme. More often than not, each couplet of the Ghazal is an independent unit, detachable and self-sufficient. Each couplet may be called a capsule of concentrated wisdom, charged with the magnetism of poetry. The themetic variety found in the several couplets of the Ghazal widens the reader's scope of selection, so that he can pick and choose his favourite couplets, treasure them in his memory, and return to them at leisure for thoughtful contemplation and quotation.
