*When you write 'ghazal' or even a nazm, it's not just radeef & qafia, but 'beher', 'wazan', the meter too you need to be aware of.
*The ghazal has to be in one 'beher' & all couplets follow this system. For ages, 'faaylun, faaylaat' has confused young writers #Urdu #Arooz
*To some, it comes naturally. You remember 'dohas'--the laghu & guru or even in lyrics in Bollywood, the 'dhun'.

*Classical masters, bards who never studied, knew it well, it came naturally to them. Others learn it, it appears too tough & master poets tell you basics, correct.
If one knows the system, it's good. If you don't know, try to learn. In many languages, poetry has come out of this system.
Everyone is free to write. Knowledge of prosody must not be used to deter anyone. Some senior poets, masters don't help, rather use it to reject others.
