what is a ghazal? a ghazal, in brief, is a poetry form consisting of a dozen couplets (or less) in the same
meter.  rules govern the rhythm of the ghazal, setting the mood and tone of the poem.  originating in persia
in the 10th century AD, the ghazal is usually (but not always) written in urdu.

woh hum safar tha is an original compilation of ghazals sung by gorinka and composed by the musical
genious sri vithal rao.  poet khalid iqbal adds to the ambience with a charismatic introduction.  gorinka’s
