''Beher'' (Arabic/Persian/Urdu: بحر) in Urdu poetry is the meter of a ''sher'' (couplet). Essentially, ''beher'' is a specific pattern, combining the ''arkaans'' (dummy meaningless words) of Urdu prosody that define the "length" of a ''sher''. However, generally ''beher'' is categorized in three classes: Short, medium, long, depending upon the length of the ''sher'' of the ''ghazal''. For a ''ghazal'', since all the ''shers'' in it should be of the same ''beher'', determining the ''beher'' of one ''sher'' (or even one line of the ''sher'') is enough to determine the ''beher'' of the entire ''ghazal''. For example, in this ''ghazal'' of Ghalib, notice the length and meter of the ashaars is same throughout. :''koii ummiid bar nahiin aatii'' :''koii suurat nazar nahiin aatii '' :''aage aatii thii haal-e-dil pe hansii '' :''ab kisii baat par nahiin aatii '' :''jaanataa huun savaab-e-taa'at-o-zahad'' :''par tabiiyat idhar nahiin aatii '' :''hai kuchh aisii hii baat jo chup huun'' :''varna kyaa baat kar nahiin aatii '' :''kaabaa kis muunh se jaaoge 'Ghalib :''sharm tumako magar nahiin aatii'' The ghazal above is written in a beher called: ''khafiif musaddas makhbuun mahzuuf maqtu'' (Meter G8).〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Frances )〕 This is a ten syllable beher and by the standards of Urdu poetry, is a ''chotii'' (small) beher. == Historical Usage and Analysis == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beher (poetry)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
