Gajal Nepali Songs

Gajal (also spelled Ghazal) is a poetic musical form with roots in Urdu and Persian literary traditions, adapted beautifully into Nepali. Known for its refined lyrics and emotional depth, gajal explores themes of love, loss, beauty, and philosophy through couplets (sher) that each carry independent meaning while contributing to a larger narrative. In Nepal, gajal has been embraced by artists who bring Nepali sensibility to this centuries-old art form, accompanied by gentle instrumentation.
