Worked example

Define Nazm and explain any three characteristics of modern Nazm. (5 marks)

Nazm is a form of Urdu poetry which deals with a single theme or subject throughout the poem. Unlike Ghazal, all verses in Nazm are interconnected and follow a logical sequence. Three characteristics of modern Nazm: 1. Unity of Theme: Modern Nazm maintains consistency in subject matter from beginning to end. 2. Progressive Thought: It reflects contemporary social, political and philosophical ideas. 3. Free Verse Structure: Modern Nazm often breaks traditional meter patterns and adopts free verse.

Common mistakes

Quick recap

Nazm is unified poetry dealing with single themes, unlike Ghazal's independent verses. Modern Nazm features progressive thought, social themes, and often free verse structure. Key poets include Josh, Faiz, and Iqbal. Remember the exact textbook definitions for unity of theme, logical sequence, and contemporary relevance.
