Troyki

Troyki is a form of Khowar/Chitrali poetry initiated by the khowar poet rachitrali. Unlike sher, a Troyki consists of three "hemistichs" (misras). The first two are complete in themselves but the addition of the third misra gives a new dimension.[1]

Example

A beautiful example of Rachitrali's Troyki:

اللہ مہ خودای تہ نام رحمان دی رحیم دی
تو غفار دی، غفورالرحیم دی
کرم کوس اسپہ سورا تو رب کریم دی
Transliteration
Allah ma khodai, ta nam Rahman di Raheem di
tu ghaffar di, ghafoor-ur-Raheem di
karam kos ispa sora tu Rabb-e-Karim di !!
Translation
O my Allah! Your name is Rahman and Raheem
You are Ghaffar also, and you are Ghafoor-ur-Raheem
O Allah Help us, you are Rabb-e-Karim
