Comparative survey of dowry and do-pareh meters and application of them in Bedil's sonnets (ghazals)

Meters of Persian verse are mainly composed of various arrangements of short and long syllables. Among these meters، all the ones that can be divided into two equal parts from middle، would give poet the possibility of increasing the rhythm of poem by observing adaptation of bound of words with bound of prosodic feet and dividing the meter of hemistich; but، some of these measures are «vazne dowry»; it means a pause is essential in the middle of two parts of their hemistich. Although some others are do-pareh، there is not any pause in the middle of their two parts and just because of symmetry; they have more order and rhythm. Another group of these symmetrical syllabic patterns، depended on whether there should be a pause in their middle or not، will have two different meters: dowry and non-dowry.
