Published on Nov 28, 2012 Nohakhwan: Sardar Hussain Sardar (late) & Syed Alamdar Ali Khan (Allan sahab). Noha: Bazm-e-Niswan Ke Liye Haq Ki Ata Hay Fizzah (as). Poet: Shameem Amrohvi. Anjuman-e-Razakaran-e-Hussain (Karachi). Prof. C. M. Naim explains the form of musaddas thus: The first four lines of each stanza [بند] have one rhyme-scheme (i.e., the same qafiya [قافیہ] and radeef [ردیف]), and the remaining two lines, referred to as the tip, have another rhyme-scheme. Usually the first four lines extend the story line, while the tip, expected to be an exceptionally good couplet, provides a mini-climax as well as a pause in the discourse. While avoiding the monotony of a single rhyme-scheme, the tip allows for moments of rest in the process of public presentation. The basic structure of a musaddas stanza is actually similar to a ghazal couplet\'s. The first four lines of the stanza form a singularity, which is then made complete by another singularity, the tip couplet. Show Less >>
