A variety of amalgamated allusion in Saeb's sonnet

Poetic figures of speech are among the factors which their prominence in a poet’s poetry makes up his/her specific style. One of the figures of speech and poetic techniques is allusive figures of speech or amalgamated allusions. As the name entails، these are types of figures in which allusion is located at the center and amalgamates with other figures. Such amalgamation brings about a novel complicated figure of speech. One special type of allusive figures of speech is an allusion which is occasionally amalgamated with metaphor and ambiguity، and at times in addition to metaphor and ambiguity with simile. The origin of this figure، which is recently referred to as “metaphoric ambiguous allusion، is traced back to Hakim baz in Persian literature. Although، poetry of Hafez is replete with metaphoric ambiguous allusion، it is considerably ubiquitous in Indian style in a way that its ignorance especially in Saeb’s poetry implies the denial of one of its foremost stylistic qualities. Such amalgamated figure is formed when a poet grants an allusion to a phenomenon which in reality the phenomenon owns such quality but in a different conceptualization. Supposedly، the given figure was Saeb’s major artifact which helped him to fulfill his distinct poetic quality i. e. unsurpassed power of creating vivacious contents. The present article intended to conduct a supplementary reanalysis of “metaphoric ambiguous allusion and its different varieties and examined it in Saeb’s Poetry.
