People knowing only roman script can take the help of this post to ascertain wazn of syllables....

it is accurate to a great extent and uses roman script for ascertaining wazn.
( people not knowing urdu and/or devnagri script cheer up)



we will treat

‘a’ as in ‘akbar’,
‘i’ as in ‘ishq’,
‘u’ as in ‘uljhan’,
‘e’ as in ‘ek’ (‘ai’ and ‘ei’ should be treated as ‘e’),
‘o’ as in ‘bahaaro’,
‘aa’ as in ‘aaraam’,
‘ii’ as in ‘merii’ and
‘uu’ as in ‘juutaa’




An ‘a’, ‘i’ or ‘u’ by itself or after a consonant may most probably produce a short syllable (weight ‘1’).


examples

'a'

only vowel = agar
consonant + vowel = magar

'i'

only vowel = ilaaj
consonant + vowel = milaap

'u'

only consonant = udhar
consonent + vowel = sudhar






An ‘e’, ‘o’, ‘aa’, ‘ii’ or ‘uu’ by itself or after a consonant will probably produce a long syllable (weight ‘2’).

examples

'e'

only vowel = ekaant
consonant + vowel= bekaar

'o'

only vowel = oar
consonant + vowel = sona

'aa'

only vowel = aaraam
consonant + vowel = naadaan

'ii'

only vowel = iiccha
consonant + vowel = diivana

'uu'

only vowel = ulTa
consonant + vowel = juutaa


An ‘a’, ‘i’ or ‘u’ between two consonants or before a consonant will produce a long syllable (weight ‘2’).

'a'

consonant + vowel + consonant = rab, sab ,jab

'i'


consonant + vowel + consonant = dil, chil , mil

'u'

consonant + vowel + consonant = chub ,dukh



An 'e' and 'o' are flexible , any word ending with "e" or "o" then its weight can be taken as 1 or 2 depending upon the requirement..
