मुक्त छंद

Free verse

No fixed meter, no fixed rhyme.

These poems follow the shape of the thought instead of a counted line. Nirala began loosening the old measures in the early twentieth century, and most Hindi poetry written since belongs here. Short or long, they ask you to listen for the rhythm the poet chose.
