The album contains eight ghazals interpersed with prose. Printed notes on the cover were given by Ali Sardar Jafri for this release. I hope you�ll also find it useful and enjoyable. I wanted to share with you all the enormous pleasure that I received from this album.

This is from an album �Portrait of a Genius�, a Ghalib cenetenary presentation. These are the words whose pronunciation is altered to fit the bah'r. You may notice that certain words have been placed against a relatively small portion (or syllable) of a rukn. A glimpse of this feature may be seen in the ashaar given with the bah'rs in this article. For now, all I can suggest is to look at the shaayari by the ustaads and see how they have used a particular word in a particular situation. There are elaborate rules for doing so which are beyond the scope of this article. Where and how one can do it is a complex issue in Urdu shaayari.

In other words, the 'weight' of the syllables can be reduced or the pronunciation of the syllables can be hastened to fit the bah'r. Moreover, a syllable in a word that is normally considered a long syllable, can be treated as a short one, if it does not fit into the arkaan and the bah'r. A word can be spread over two adjacent arkaan. If possible, the words should start and end where the arkaans do, but this is not necessary.
