Qaafiyah Expert 2.0
Version 2.0 — 20 Second Trailer
A quick look at what's new.
Qaafiyah Expert 2.0 is here. What started as a focused qafiya and poetry utility has grown into a complete digital workspace for poets, writers, students, researchers and lovers of Urdu and Hindustani poetry.
This is a complete Shayar Helper for Urdu, Hindi, Persian and Hindustani poetry — whether you write in the Perso-Arabic Urdu script, Devanagari, or Roman English. Find rhymes (qaafiyah), check taqti(scansion) and prosody(aruuz), explore dictionaries, design a digital diary (bayaz), get corrections (islaah) from Ustaad, and work on your poetry with professional tools in one app.
Iterating it again (many of you demanded this and here it is), you do not have to read the Perso-Arabic script to use it. Qaafiyah Expert supports English, Urdu and Hindi UI, along with multiple poetry word lists including Roman English and Devanagari.
معاونِ سخنوراں
2.0 at a Glance
A surprisingly large poetry toolkit inside one app.
+ Custom lists
Poetry for Readers of Urdu, Hindi & Hindustani
You don't need to read the Perso-Arabic script to benefit from Qaafiyah Expert.
Built for a multilingual poetry audience
Qaafiyah Expert 2.0 has three UI languages: English, Urdu and Hindi. This makes the app useful not only for traditional Urdu readers, but also for people who know Hindustani through Hindi or Roman script.
The rhyme search includes five major word-list options: Urdu, Farsi, Roman English, Devanagari and a pure Hindi Hunspell list.
The Devanagari list is particularly useful for people who understand Urdu vocabulary but prefer to read and write in Devanagari.
Qafiya Search: More Than a Rhyme Finder
Search thousands of words across multiple scripts and languages, then narrow the results exactly the way you need.
Qaafiyah Expert gives you three powerful ways to search:
The Presets system includes 10 ready-made search patterns for quickly finding the words you need, while advanced controls let you narrow your results further.
Whether you're looking for a traditional qafiya, experimenting with a regex pattern, or using one of the ten ready-made presets, the search system is designed for both beginners and power users.
Five Poetry Word Lists
Search across scripts and vocabulary sources instead of being locked into a single writing system.
Urdu
The core Urdu poetry vocabulary for traditional Urdu-script writing.
Farsi
Persian vocabulary for poets working with Persian words and influences in Urdu poetry.
Roman English
Search and work with Roman-script vocabulary without requiring an Urdu keyboard.
Devanagari
A Devanagari representation of the Urdu word list, useful for Hindi-reading Hindustani speakers.
Pure Hindi
A dedicated Hindi vocabulary list based on Hunspell, separate from the Urdu-derived Devanagari list.
Custom Lists
Add your own remote word lists and build specialized vocabularies for your poetry projects.
Taqti & Aruz: Three Engines in One App
Analyze your poetry with three complementary approaches to Urdu poetry scansion.
Offline Taqti
A local beta engine with detailed scansion, meter tables, behr information, meter chips and a flow score.
aruuz.com
The existing online Aruz analysis engine remains available as part of the workflow.
Rekhta Scansion
Live scansion with example ghazals and verses in the corresponding meter.
Nine Dictionaries — Plus Your Own
A poet needs more than a rhyme. Sometimes the exact word, meaning, synonym or expression is what makes the verse work.
Qaafiyah Expert brings together nine dictionary resources, including offline HyperDict, online meanings, poetic dictionaries, thesaurus resources and other lookup tools.
You can also add a custom dictionary when your particular vocabulary or research project requires something beyond the built-in resources.
Bayaz Design: Turn Poetry Into a Finished Page
Writing the poem is only half the story. Version 2.0 gives you a proper poetry design and publishing workflow.

Urdu Poetry Doesn't Belong to One Script
There is a huge audience that loves Urdu poetry, shayari and Hindustani poetry but is more comfortable reading Hindi or Roman script than the Perso-Arabic Urdu script.
Qaafiyah Expert 2.0 is designed to make that audience feel included rather than excluded. With an English interface, Hindi interface, Devanagari word resources and Roman-script search, you can explore the vocabulary and mechanics behind Urdu poetry without first having to learn a new script.
That makes it useful whether you're searching for Urdu poetry in Hindi, exploring Urdu poetry in English, looking for Hindi poetry, writing Urdu shayari, or simply trying to find the right qafiya for your next sher.
A Timely Tool for Poetry Season
With Independence Day poetry and patriotic poetry searches rising across India, Qaafiyah Expert can also be useful when you're looking for the right words, rhymes and meters for an Independence Day poem, 15 August poetry or Urdu poetry for Independence Day.
And if you're studying classic poetry, exploring Allama Iqbal poetry in Urdu, composing two-line Urdu poetry, or simply collecting vocabulary for your next ghazal, the same search and dictionary tools remain useful year-round.
Write More. Search Better. Create Beautifully.
Qaafiyah Expert 2.0 brings the tools of the Urdu poet, researcher and poetry enthusiast together in one place — whether you read Urdu, Hindi, Devanagari or Roman script.
If you write shayari, study poetry, search for qafiyas, practice aruz, design poetry pages or simply love the Hindustani poetic tradition, this release is for you.
