Written and recited by Gulzar

Nazm is a form of Urdu poetry that is often used to write on a singular subject in a regular or free rhyme scheme depending on the demand of the subject and the desire of the poet. Unlike the Ghazal, which is made up of several independent and self-contained couplets, expressing various thoughts and feelings in the same metric or rhyme scheme, the Nazm is not limited by such compulsion. The fugitive verse poem called "Azad Nazm" is a modern variation, which is free to use non-rhyming lines of unequal length in the same poem, or even in the same stanza. In this way, the poet empowers his words to sound more intense and bring them as close as possible to the intonation and rhythms of natural speech. However, an inner rhythm with an understanding of mandatory meter keeps it within the realm of poetry, bringing a lovely musicality to this Urdu verse form.
