A qasida has a single presiding subject, logically developed and concluded. Often it is a panegyric, written in praise of a king or a nobleman, a genre known as madīḥ, meaning "praise". After the 10th century Iranians developed the qasida immensely and used it for other purposes. Qasida in Urdu poetry is often panegyric, sometimes a satire, sometimes dealing with an important event.)
