A matla is the first sher of a ghazal, and both lines of the sher must end in the radeef, the word or phrase that is repeated at the end of the second line in every couplet. Though a nazm is traditionally written in rhymed verse, there are many examples of nazms written in unrhymed verse, or even in free verse.Ī ghazal is a collection of couplets ( shers or ashaar) which follow strict rules, for example: every ghazal must have a matla. This collection of traditional ghazals was followed by a collection of nazms, by translations of foreign poetry, and by many works in free verse.Ī nazm is a well organised, logically evolving poem where each individual verse serves the need of the central concept or theme of the poem.
