Abstract
The metres which are structured with the rhythmical
repetition of two different syllabic-feet are called Caesurus
Metres.The trend to use Caesurus Metres in Urdu got
popularized due to the demands of innovation and poetic
experiments at the outset of the twentieth century. Allama
Iqbal too, like his other contemporary, got inspired by this
new poetical trend. As a result, he used these metres both
in poems and lyrics. The diversified use of Caesurus
Metres is not to be found in the poetry of any other poet as
in that of Iqbal's. The use of these difficult metres in his
poetry is a beautiful combination of his thought and art,
which reflects his aesthetic sense, prosodic wisdom and
technical expertise. This article is a prosodic study of the
use of Caesurus Metres in Iqbal's poetry.
