Urdu poetry is the one you read or send to others to express your feelings and emotions. It is often loaded with rhythmic patterns of language, phonemes, sound practices, symbols to create irrational meaning. Urdu poets are primarily found in India and Pakistan. Some of the common Urdu poetry genres are sad, funny, love, romance, political, Sufi, etc.

The new writing or the new poetry to be said precisely emerged with more clarity. Every new writer was a literary rebel as it does not stick to the basic poetic rules. Contemporary poetry is more based on political and social revolutions. With the social-political concept in their mind, new writers developed their way while seeking their inspiration from foreign and literary events.

Structure of new poetry

There is a specific structure that Urdu poetry follows, and the style is different from ancient American poetry or seventeen-century English poetry. It has a rhyming scheme and a verse pattern, but some Urdu writers write in the free verse method to not follow any pattern.

Radif and qafiya

Radif is a concept that the second verse of each Sher should be in the exact rhyming words. Qafiya is the first Sher of any Nazam or ghazal. Whether it’s a ghazal or a Nazam, it should contain qafiya and Radif.

Beher

It means a meter or length on which a poem is made. For a ghazal, each Sher should follow the same length/meter.

Matla and Maqta

Matla is said to be the first Sher of couplet of poetry in which both verses rhyme to each other. The purpose of Matla is to define qafiya and Radif for the rest of the poem/ghazal. There is usually one Matla in a poem, but sometimes poets tend to write two couplets of Matla to express a specific theme.

Maqta is generally the last Sher of a ghazal or poem in which most of the poets use their pen names. A Maqta poet can address himself or address something else in a specific manner to conclude the poem.

Types of New poetry

Following are the most common types of new poetry.

Hamd

A form of poetry wrote in praise of Allah.

Hazal

Hazal is known as funny or mazaahiya poetry, in which a phenomenon is described humorously.

Hijv

A satirical poem to make fun or abuse someone, which many poets have not written due to the topic’s sensitivity.

Madah

A total opposite of hijv is called Madah, in which the praise for someone is done openly.

Marsiya

It is a poem in the form of an elegy to mourn the death of Hazrat Imam Husain in the incident of Karbala.

New poets

New poetry is due to the acknowledgment of the social-political scenario. We have many famous poets in Urdu traditionally, but nowadays, the poetic style has upgraded, and we have new poets.

New poetry has pawed the way for many different genres rather than glorifying romantic poetry alone. Some of the poets of new poetry are Jameel Nazar, Nasira Zuberi, Mohib Arifi, Gulanr Afreen, etc. You can view their pieces of work on this page.
