Qaafiyaa or qafiyah ( Persian: قافیہ, Urdu: قافیہ) is a device employed in a form of Persian poetry and Urdu poetry known as ghazal (a poetic form consisting of couplets which share a rhyme and a refrain) and also in nazm. The qaafiyaa is the rhyming pattern of words that must directly precede the ghazal's radif. [1] [2]
The origin of qaafiyaa is Arabic; it is the rhyming of the ends of the words. Ghazal is a form of romantic Arabic poetry. Ghazal is essentially flirtatious and quite often playful poetry.
A ghazal which has no radif is known as ghair muradaf ghazal; if it contains radif, it is called a muradaf ghazal.
