Questions & Answers about شاعر در غزل خویش به زیبایی اشاره میکند.
Could I use خود instead of خویش to say "his own ghazal"?
Yes, you could say غزل خود (ghazal-e khod). خویش (khish) means the exact same thing as خود ("oneself" or "one's own") but is much more literary and formal. Since this sentence is about a poet and a poem, the poetic word خویش fits the mood perfectly.
Do I need to use an ezafe to connect غزل and خویش?
Yes. Whenever you use خویش as a possessive pronoun meaning "one's own [something]", you must connect it to the noun using an ezafe (the short "e" sound). It is pronounced ghazal-e khish, exactly the same way you would say ghazal-e khod.
Why is به used before زیبایی?
The compound verb اشاره کردن (to point out, to refer) requires the preposition به (to). Just like in English where you "point to" something, in Farsi the poet points to beauty (به زیبایی اشاره میکند).
How does the word زیبایی (beauty) get its ending?
It is built from the adjective زیبا (ziba), meaning "beautiful", plus the suffix ی (-i) which turns adjectives into abstract nouns. Because زیبا ends in the long vowel "a", an extra ی (y) is inserted as a bridge to make pronunciation smoother, resulting in زیبایی (zibayi - beauty).
