Qasida

A qasida (also spelled qasidah) in Arabic "قصيدة", is a form of poetry from pre-Islamic Arabia. It typically runs more than 50 lines, and sometimes more than 100. It was later inherited by the Persians, where it became a rhymeless poem of more than 100 lines http://www.bestirantravel.com/culture/poetry/poetry.html. Properly, either all the lines rhyme http://www.uni.edu/~gotera/CraftOfPoetry/couplet.html, or every second line of the four-line verse rhymes http://www.urdupoetry.com/poetryforms.html. The pre-Islamic qasida maintained a single elaborate meter throughout the poem, and every line rhymed. These poems are considered some of the most elaborate in the world.
