Well there are more than five hundred lines in this link you mentioned talking about many opinions and you just pick up two lines containing the word homoerotic that I don t know which idiot has written Now let me give you another link where they precisely talk about ghazal it s formation and it s particularities And they mention The idealized beloved in the ghazal tradition is typically a woman or God And then why is it believed to be homoerotic The use of masculine grammatical structures suggests that many poems carry homoerotic undertones As I said it is the structure of the persian language which does not have any distinction between genders which has made some so called scholars probably those with an agenda not related to mystic poetry to makeing a deliberate mistake of talking about masculin grammatical structure while it is neutral in persian Neutral meaning precisely that if a man wrote it The idealized beloved in the ghazal tradition is typically a woman or God And the paragraph ends by The ghazal rarely speaks about specific encounters rather it conceives of love as a metaphor for interactions among humans God and the world How about you Haiduc going a little bit further in your analysis than just fulfilling your agenda as I know your contribution in wikipedia very well and looking for the word homoerotic
