Some emotions of mankind like pain and love are best conveyed through silence and a ghazal is very close to silence . Ghazal is subtle and sublime. Keats once said that the sweetest songs are those which sing about your saddest thoughts and a Ghazal sings of what you have lost , it sings of unsaid and unattainable love . It delves deep into your past , unearthing your sorrows , venting your feelings making you vulnerable. There are not many people who can endure this or live through this and hence Ghazals always have a selected audience. To be an admirer of Ghazals one needs an emotional maturity to see beyond the lyrics to read the silences of the song. This can be attained only with age .A ghazal grows on you as you grow up.
