Metrical verse (chhand)
Verse built on strict measures.
These poems follow the classical counting systems of Hindi and Sanskrit prosody, where the length or number of syllables in every line is fixed. The measure gives the verse its pulse, and you can often feel the beat before you have understood the words.
