3.3   Epigraph

پھر ہوا وقت کہ ہو بال کشا موجِ شراب
دے بطِ مے کو دل و دستِ شنا موجِ شراب
phir huʾā vaqt kih ho bāl-kushā mauj-e sharāb
de bat-e mai ko dil-o-dast-e shinā mauj-e sharāb

—Mirza Ghalib, (ghazal 49,1)

Khayāl (Persian: ‘thought, fancy’). A type of vocal composition in North Indian art music and the style in which such compositions are performed. The song comprises two rhyming lines of verse, in Hindi, usually on secular themes.

—Richard Widdess, from Grove Music Online
