  Types of Urdu Poetry
Ghazal is a collection of couplets (shers or ashaar) which follow the rules of 'matla', 'maqta', 'bahar', 'qafiya' and 'radeef'.
The presence of maqta is often not considered necessary.
A self-sufficient quartrain, rhyming (a, a, b, a) and dealing generally with a single idea, which is customarily introduced and developed with the aid of similes in the first three lines, and concluded, with concentrated effort and impact, in the fourth line.

Therefore, the rhyming scheme would be: aa, ba, ca, da, ea, etc. There is also a complex (sometime) requirement of repetition of the entire first line of the first couplet and second line of the first couplet in different places towards the end of the poem.
The ending couplet, or “maqta,” often contains the name or nom de plume of the poet.
The last two lines are the maqta, containing the poet’s name, Shahid.

  Maqta
The maqta is the last sher (couplet) of a ghazal, a collection of Urdu poems, in which the poet's takhallus, or pen name, is employed, often in very creative ways.
A shayar can use the maqta in a variety of interesting ways.
He can "talk to himself", "to somebody else", "refer to something" etc. For example Firaq Gorakhpuri, whose takhallus is the word for the common theme in Urdu poetry of the state of pining for the beloved, plays on his nome de plume and the word firaq:

 What is a Ghazal?
I have lots of favourite Sher's which are 'Maqta' of some Ghazal.
The restriction of 'Maqta' is really very loose.
But since this is traditional, many Ghazal's do have a 'Maqta' just for the sake of it.

 Ghazal
Although the ghazal is most prominently a form of Urdu poetry, today, it has influenced the poetry of many languages.
A Ghazal in short, is a collection of couplets (called sher) which follow the rules of Matla, Maqta, Beher, Qaafiyaa, Radif, Khayaal and Wazan.
The Maqta was used historically as a way for the poet to secure credit for his or her work and poets often make elegant use of their thakhallus in the maqta.

 Ek-Ashiana : Research On Ghazals
This sher is known as the 'Maqta' of the ghazal.
To summarize, a ghazal is a collection of shers (independent two-line poems), in which there is atleast one 'Matla', one 'Maqta', all the shers are of same 'Beher' and have the same 'Kaafiyaa' and'Radif'.
I think 'Maqta' was used in earlier times as a way to keep/acknowledge the credit of penmanship.

Therefore, a survey was conducted to assess the crop diversity of three mountain oases in the al-Hajar range using a GIS-based field survey and farmer interviews.
Fruit species diversity and homogeneity of distribution of individual fruit species was highest at Balad Seet and lowest at Maqta as indicated by respective Shannon indices of 1.00 and 0.39 and evenness values of 32% and 16%.
Furthermore, follow-up visits to Balad Seet, Maqta and Al Jabal al Akhdar will be critical to document the transformation processes in these oases and to determine the pace of genetic erosion.

Dynasty 12 began with Mentuhetep IV's former vizier, Amenemhat I, who, for unknown reasons, moved his capital from Thebes to a new (as yet, unidentified) location south of Memphis called Itjtawy.
During this period, royal cemeteries were located at Lisht, Lahun, Dahshur, and Hawwarat al Maqta', and royal tombs again took the form of pyramids.
A new religious literature appeared in the First Intermediate Period when the so-called Coffin Texts replaced Pyramid Texts and, as their name implies, were painted on coffins rather than pyramid walls.

With figures released by Abu Dhabi's Traffic Licensing Department, indicating an 84 per cent increase in the number of vehicles on the roads of the UAE capital over the past five years, and the significant increase in inter-Emirates road travel, a third bridge crossing over the Maqta Channel to Abu Dhabi is long overdue.
Traffic, particularly during the 'rush hours' is often at a virtual standstill 'on and off' the island.

The 'taKHallus' appears in the last Sher or 'maqta' of the GHazal.
The tradition started, IMO, because in the past, this was the only way to claim the credit.
It can appear in the 'maqta' without having any effect on the meaning of the Sher or a Shayar can use his 'taKHallus' to address himself.
