However, during the Abbassid period the Ghazal underwent a specific and up to some extent it became independent During this period the trends of
Ghazal changed into different forms such as:
1. Ghazal -e- Hessi (intuitive ode).
2. Ghazal -e- Nif (chaste ode)
3. Ghazal -e- Muzakar (homosexual ode).
4. Ghazal -e- Gholamiyyat (regarding a slave girl dressing a
boy)
5. Ghazal -e- Taqlidi (imitative ode).
In this paper in connection with the first epoch of Abbassid
regarding the first three forms of Ghazals mentioned above, a discussion has been conducted in detail and in conclusion it is stated that the change and the transformation in the field of literature and poetry which took place during this period was due to the civilization and urbanization. A major portion of these changes is regarding the state of royal courts the politics morality, social issues and the increasing lack of commitment of the Abbassid caliphs who preferred the masculine type of Ghazals especially Amin Abbasi who strongly supported the change in the trend of Ghaza1.
