Description: Present article is about development of Urdu Gazal. The word Ghazal comes from Arabic its dictionary meaning being "to converse with women". Urdu Ghazal came into its own at a time when Mughal rule was entering the final phase of decline. Meer and Ghalib represented the consummation of the humanistic tradition in Urdu poetry. After that Iqbal started from where Ghalib had left. Iqbal introduced modern sensibility in Urdu poetry. Hasrat, Fani, Jigar, Yazana and others made a rich contribution to the treasure store of Ghazal. But the creative development of the legacy left by Ghalib and Iqbal in the field of Ghazal fell to the lot of the modern poets like Firaq, Faiz, Majaz, Majrooh, Makhdoom, Jan Nisar, KaIfi,etc.
