Author's note, regarding Ghazal: Persian lyric form dating from the eighth century onward. The word ghazal comes from the cry of the gazelle when it knows it is going to die. The ghazal is made up of closed (self-contained) couplets. The theme of the ghazal is usually love and wine, mystically understood.
