Rekhti (Urdu: ریختی, Hindi: रेख़ती), is a form of Urdu feminist poetry. A genre developed by male poets,[1] it uses women's voices to talk about themselves.[2] It was formed in 19th-century Lucknow, then part of the State of Awadh (now in Uttar Pradesh, India).[1] The poet Saadat Yaar Khan Rangin is credited with its creation.[3]
Written generally in ghazal form, it uses women's special idioms, mannerism and accents.[1] Their topics include women-women and women-men affairs and also women's sensual desires and sexual urges.[1]
