COMPREHENSION

Read the text below carefully and answer the questions that follow. Choose the most
appropriate choice for each question (91-95).

A qataa, very simply, is a poem of four lines—a quatrain. It may occur in the middle
of a ghazal (where the poet is unable to finish a thought in two lines, and chooses to use
four). It may also be a stand-alone verse, un-embedded in any long poem. Here is an
example of a stand-alone qataa from Faiz:
Raat yoon dil mein teri khoi hui yaad aayi
Jaise veerane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaaye
Jaise sehraaon mein haule se chale baad-e naseem
Jaise beemar ko be-vajah qaraar aa jaaye

Your faded memory visited my heart last night

As if the spring came to the ruins, real quiet
As if the zephyr silently cooled the desert
And the sick, miraculously, gained some respite.

91. Which of these is not true of a qataa?

(A) It is a four-line poem
(B) It is a stand-alone quatrain
(C) It is not a long poem
(D) It is embellished
92. Why does qutaa occur in a ghazal?
(A) Because ghazals are usually short
(B) Because two lines are not enough for all poems’
(C) Because some ghazals at the end of two lines are still incomplete
(D) Because ghazals sometimes need quataas
93. What does ‘zephyr’ mean?
(A) Water
(B) Air
(C) Wind
(D) Fire
94. Memory is not compared in the short poem with:
(A) Soft wind
(B) Desert heat
(C) Spring
(D) Healing
95. The poem seems to be addressed to:
(A) A friend
(B) A beloved
 (C) A son
(D) A father

Read the text below carefully and answer the questions that follow. Choose the
most appropriate choice for each question (96-110).

The ghazal is the dominant form of the Urdu poem. It is structured relatively strictly, with
a string of shers (couplets), common in metre (i.e. the first and second lines have the same
number of syllables). Every second line of a couplet in a ghazal shares a rhythmic
continuity with every other second line, through two artefacts known as the qafiya and the
radif. The qafiya primarily refers to a convention of using certain rhyming words in the
course of a verse. The radif is the refrain at the end of a certain line that gives the verse a
consistent rhythm. To explain these in concrete terms, let us take an example of three shers
from a popular ghazal, such as Hasrat Mohani’s ghazal ‘Chupke chupke’, which was used
in the 1982 film Nikaah. The lines go thus:

Chupke chupke raat din aansoo bahaana yaad hai

Hum ko ab tak aashiqui ka vo zamaana yaad hai
Khainch lena vo mera parde ka kona daf’atan
Aur dupatte mein tera vo moonh chhupaana yaad hai
Dopahar ki dhoop mein mere bulaane ke liye
Vo tera kothe pe nange paaon aana yaad hai

Nights, days of quiet tear-shedding, I still remember

That era of intense loving, I still remember
Suddenly, I pulled away the curtain between us
Your veiled face playfully hiding, I still remember
The afternoon sun, the hot roof, your bare, burning feet
That sweet summons, you arriving, I still remember.

The rhyme in this ghazal derives primarily from the qafiya, which in this case comes from the
rhyming of ‘bahaana’, ‘zamaana’, ‘chhupaana’ and ‘aana’. It is here that the creativity of the
poet is tested the most. The radif in this ghazal is ‘yaad hai’, which is a base on which the
ghazal stands. In this case, every second line of every stanza would end with the words ‘yaad
hai’ (the radif), and that phrase would be preceded by a word that rhymed with ‘bahaana’ (the
qafiya). Ghazals typically contain between five and twenty couplets, which are not necessarily
connected to each other in narrative continuity.

Two more elements of the ghazal to keep in mind are the matla and the maqta. The matla is a
sher in the ghazal, usually the first couplet, where both lines rhyme. The first sher in the above
ghazal is a matla. A ghazal may have more than one matla; for instance, in the Faiz ghazal
‘Tum aaye ho’ that I have translated in this volume, the first two shers are both considered
matlas. The maqta is that sher of a ghazal which contains the poet’s name as a signature (the
signature is known as the takhallus). Many of the ghazals in this anthology have maqtas, which
are often the place where poets showed their flourish. Often, a poet may have more than one
takhallus. Ghalib had two: ‘Ghalib’ and, occasionally, ‘Asad’. As he said:
Main ne Majnun pe ladakpan mein,
Asad Sang uthaya thha, ke sar yaad aaya

In my childhood, Asad I raised a stone to strike Majnu dead

But then, I remembered my own head.
