Aruz

The ʿarūż[lower-alpha 1] (from Arabic عروض ʿarūḍ), also called ʿarūż prosody, is the Persian, Turkic and Urdu prosody, using the ʿarūż meters.[lower-alpha 2] The earliest founder of this versification system was Khalil ibn Ahmad. There were 16 kinds of modalities of ʿarūż at first. Later Persian scholars added 3 more kinds. For example, the Karakhanid long poem Kutadgu Bilig from the 11th century was written using a modality called "Mutaqallip".[1]
