Dhruvapad

Dhruvapad is a poetic structure used in classical Indian poetry, particularly in Urdu and Hindi literature. It consists of a verse where the final word (the pad) repeats the same syllable or sound in each line, creating a rhythmic and thematic anchor. This repetition emphasizes key ideas or emotions, enhancing the poem’s musicality and meaning. Essentially, Dhruvapad helps poets focus their message, making the theme more memorable and powerful, while also contributing to the aesthetic harmony of the poem.
