Matla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Matla (Arabic: مطلع) is the first sher, or couplet, of a ghazal, a collection of poems in Urdu poetry. It is possible, although extremely rare, for there to be more than one matla in a ghazal; in this case the second is referred to as matla-e-sani, literally the second matla.
