Vatsun (/ˈvætʃən/, ks) is a Kashmiri literary form derived from Sanskrit Vachan meaning "word/speech". This is because it has no particular pattern of versification or rhyme scheme.[1] The metres and rhyme schemes of vatsun are varied, but generally each unit is a stanza of three lines followed by a refrain (vooj). Vatsun bears a resemblance to Urdu lyric. Vatsun is also similar to the ghazals of the Middle East and iambic pentameter of the Western world.[citation needed]
In poetry, it is a popular age-old folk-form dating back to the 14th century, when Lal Ded and Sheikh-ul-Alam (alias Nund Rishi) wrote in the Kashmiri language the devotional poetry depicting their mystic experiences, love for God, love for others, and folk dancing.[2][3]
