Sometimes the adjacent words or sentences produce music, which is considered as internal music. This kind of music is the result of the proportion of letters and sounds caused by variation and repetition. One of the prominent features of Amir Khosro prose are its rhythmic phrases and this gives richness to his prose. His prose is characterized by alliteration, assonance, and refrain.
