The Ghazals

"vo aaye ghar me.n hamaare Khudaa kii qudrat hai kabhi ham un ko kabhii apane ghar ko dekhate hai.n" The beginnings of this evolution can be traced to the early 20th century. Many of its early exponents were classically trained singers who specialized in Khayaal and Thumri style of singing. However, unlike classical music which to this day is perceived as elitist, ghazals have become popular with the common man. Some of these ghazals have been backlinked to http://www.urdupoetry.com/.
