The word Taqti is derived from قطع and means "Literally cutting into pieces." In prosody letter or word of the verse are placed according the feet of Behar. The basic principle of Urdu scansion depends on movement (حرکت) and quiescent (ساکن) of the letter. 

Scansion requires some basic steps such as follows: (1) Full command on Harf e MaktobiMalfoze,Harf e ghair Maktobi Malfoze. (2) Recitation of Couplet (verse) is must forscansion. (3) Acquaintance with simple and compound feet particularly (1st or 2nd feet) ofthe verse. (4) Awareness of pauses (breaks) and Rhythm. Insha Allah Khan, Qateel, Kazim Afridi, Semab, AD Azhar have made efforts to make scansion easy by addingsome new words. They have changed, modified, and reshaped the verse for this purpose. Hafiz Mahmood Sherani, Habibullah Ghazanfar preferred syllable system. On the otherhand, Azmatullah Khan and Gian Chand are more interested in Hindi Arooz. However, Pervaiz Natal Khan lary adopted English syllable and syllabic system, whereas, Mughni Tabassum reshsaped the phonetical system. I have studied the works of Prosidians mentioned above and presented the analysis in next pages. My research isalso based on the fact that Urdu syllable system is significantly different from Englishsyllable and syllabic system and I found that Urdu Language lacks stressed syllable as well.
