    I appreciate your efforts in compiling this website. I listen to ghazals all the time. Hindi, Urdu and Marathi…I love your collection, there are quite a few ghazals I hadnt heard before. I always had trouble understanding some Urdu shaire. I would search for translations online or bug my friends who understand Urdu better than I do….
    Your pages are surely another resource for me..
    Keep up the good work…

    Wow !! What an excellent website to understand our favourite ghazals and other lovely songs. The enjoyment of a song increases if one understands the meaning of the words. Thanks a lot. I had been looking for something like this for years. Regards.

    Please give the meaning of the ghazal ‘Nuktachin hai ghame dil’ from Mirza Ghalib. Not just the literal meaning of the words, but the meaning of all the couplets, especially the one ‘Ghair phirta hai liye yun tere khat ko, ki agar, koi pooche ke ye kya hai, to chhupaye na bane’. What is the poet conveying?

    I am quite new to the Ghazal world and found your site while searching through Google. Just wanted to say thank you for putting such effort, I now stand clear of the many difficulties I had in understanding Ghazals!

    “The enjoyment of a song increases if one understands the meaning of the words” fully agree with Vipin – we are fortune to have this easy access – added to it the benefit of youtube – one of my favourites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgORG0PMGAU&feature=channel_page
