Gasel

Gasel eller ghazal (persisk/arabisk/urdu: غزل) er en persisk-indisk lyrisk diktform med arabisk opprinnelse.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] En gasel består av verselinjer som begynner med et rimpar. Dernest følger samme rim i hver annen linje, slik at det bare blir ett rim gjennom hele diktet. Et slikt dikt skal tradisjonelt bestå av minst fem rimpar, og i høyden 15 rimpar.^[2]

Columbia University. Besøkt 16. oktober 2020. «The word ‘ghazal’ means something like ‘conversations with women’; like the genre itself, it originated in sixth-century Arabic verse. Early Arabic ghazal revolved around two broad themes: the rakish celebration of wine, women, and song; and the elegiac lament over lost love. By the time the ghazal passed into Persian from the early eleventh century onward, this second theme had come to have mystical overtones: separation and suffering were at the heart of love, while the faithful, longing lover was even a kind of martyr.

The form has roots in seventh-century Arabia, and gained prominence in the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century thanks to such Persian poets as Rumi and Hafiz. In the eighteenth-century, the ghazal was used by poets writing in Urdu, a mix of the medieval languages of Northern India, including Persian. Among these poets, Ghalib is the recognized master. Other languages that adopted the ghazal include Hindi, Pashto, Turkish, and Hebrew. The German poet and philosopher Goethe experimented with the form, as did the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca.»
