Dr. Ali Ahmad Jalili started writing ghazals in the ancient classical style, but gradually his uniqueness came to the fore with the mutual influence of the traditions and requirements of classicism. Dr. Ali Ahmad Jalili was vouchsafed with poetic knowledge, wisdom, and thought. That is why he could express the pain and suffering of humanity with complete cognizance and control.
