The Prose System in the Poetry of Pashto:
Scales of Pashto Poetry

Mohammad Nazir Rohani, Seraj Ahmad Habibi and
Said Ghulam Mohammad Hashmi

Abstract

Prose means the way to the top of the mountain or to offer something. The literal meaning of prose is the scales of poetry, but the scales on which the weight of Pashto poetry is weighed is the syllabotonic scales which consider both the intonation and the syllabic of poetry. It means that, the stressed syllables are regular in all pillars and are positioned at equal distances following the first pillar. The purpose of this research is to make the prose system in Pashto’s poetry clear to the readers. The library research method was used in this study. The study found that the prose system in the poetry of Pashto has a diverse characteristic; in all the lyric poems, there is pressure in every third syllable element and on its quatrains, the stress is on its fourth syllable.

Keywords: Pashto language, prose system, Pashto poetry, scales of poetry.

Introduction

Our outline of the topic of this article is that, firstly, we introduced the topics before the main topic, then the light was shed on the selabotonic system. And with this, the matter has been sufficiently clarified that the poems of Pashto language should be put on the scale.

Background

Regarding the background, we can say that no work has been done on this topic so far, which is sufficient for serious readers. Some scholars have worked on prosody in general, but in particular, they have explained the syllabic characteristics of a Pashto poet's poetry to the esteemed readers. It is hoped that the problems of serious readers will be solved.
