 "(Pronunciation: "guzzle") Originally 
 an Arabic verse form dealing with loss and 
 romantic love, medieval Persian poets embraced 
 the ghazal, eventually making it their own. 
 Consisting of syntactically and grammatically 
 complete couplets, the form also has an intricate 
 rhyme scheme. Each couplet ends on the 
 same word or phrase (the radif), and is preceded 
 by the couplet's rhyming word (the qafia, 
 which appears twice in the first couplet). 
 The last couplet includes a proper name, often 
 of the poet's. In the Persian tradition, 
 each couplet was of the same meter and length, 
 and the subject matter included both erotic 
 longing and religious belief or mysticism."
