The Art of Writing Hindi Ghazals in Contemporary Time | HindiShayari

Hindi Ghazal writing is an inherently passionate and complex art form of poetry that has captivated audiences for ages. The harmony, beauty through rhythm and cadence, paths of emotional growth and spiritual feeling make the Ghazal a treasured part of Indian literary and cultural heritage. We at HindiShayari will preserve this ancient art form and will adapt this art to embrace the themes and voices of today's time.
A Ghazal is typically a string of couplets, or sher, with each couplet working as a stand alone piece but sharing thematic meaning through rhyme and refrain. The beauty of the Ghazal is its intensity of emotion, usually expressed through themes of love, longing, separation, loss, beauty, or spiritual searching. Hindi Ghazals are grounded in tradition along the same aesthetic lines of Persian and Urdu poetry but carry the same emotive tones and soulfulness as the past, yet through contemporary language, perspective, and experience.
At HindiShayari, we take pleasure in being part of the evolution of Hindi Ghazal writing, from its classical form to contemporary style. Traditional Ghazals were preoccupied with divine love or unclaimed love, but poets of today are covering much broader topics—urban alienation, mental health, identity, masculinity and femininity, social justice, and self-investigation. Such a change ensures Ghazals are still relevant and engaging, especially for a younger generation seeking profundity within simplicity.
Not only do modern Hindi Ghazal writers use the classic tropes of Ghazals like radeef (refrain) and qaafiyaa (rhyme), but also the casual tone of today's language. The end result is a poetry that feels both intimate and elevated—able to evoke spectacularly poignant emotions in merely a few words. HindiShayari facilitates these voices of poets, showcasing both emerging and established Hindi poets, expanding the boundaries of an old literary tradition into a digital world.
Technology and social media have also played a key role in revitalizing interest in Hindi Ghazals as a new generation of poets births new poetry performances from Tumblr to Instagram, YouTube and podcasts, making it possible for poets to engage and publish their works to a universal audience. HindiShayari has brought together such contemporary works, where a community of readers and listeners can discover the depths of Hindi Ghazal writing in text, voice, and visual form. You can find Hindi Ghazals in traditional scripts or modern typography as background music enters.
In addition, music has played an important role in Ghazals. Great performers(such as Jagjit Singh, Mehdi Hassan, and Pankaj Udhas) have transformed poetic couplets into songs for centuries. Contemporary musicians uphold their tradition but in a new format with different arrangements and production values, and being innovative on the digital platforms. Even invite poets to record or perform alongside them at festivals. At HindiShayari we uphold and support the beautiful interconnection of melody with verse, while retaining the lyrical nature of the Ghazals, so you can remember them!
