At that time Nusrati, Wajhi, Hashmi, Mohammad Quli Qutab Shah and Wali Dakhini were the significant rulers with whose patronage the music form ghazal had built its foundation. The curious factor about ghazal is that it was initiated in the north but received its Urdu characteristics down south. From 12th to the 18th centuries was the period of establishment of Indian ghazal. During the 12th century with the encroachment of the Muslims, this genre of music came into vogue. Ghazal has been considered as one of the common, favourite and non-classical form of music mainly popular amongst the Indian people. The form originally developed from the Persian qasida. This genre of music has been considered as the ancient form that germinated from 10th century Persian verse. It can thus be realized as 'a poetic expression of both the pain of loss or separation and the beauty of love in spite of that pain'. However, 'unrequited love' has been considered as the most substantial theme of ghazal. In ghazal, therefore these are the common themes. Love, separation and loneliness are the expressions that are expressed with a hypnotic meaning, through ghazals. The word ghazal etymologically means "the mortal cry of a gazelle". Ghazal, the music genre that is a poetic form comprises couplets, which shares rhyme and abstain.
