A Study of Antanaclasis in Molvi Ahmed Mallah’s Poetry

Abstract
Molvi Ahmed Mallah, the great Sindhi Poet, is expert of both Classical Hindhi/ Sindhi Prosody and the Arabic Prosody. Lyrical translation of Quran Majeed named ‘Noor ul Quran’ and his mixed poetry named ‘Kulyat Ahmed’ are his best work in the light of different type of prosody. He has composed masterpiece Verses (Bait) and Kafi as well as Odes (Gazal) and lyrical poems. His poetry is rich and unmatchable regarding execution of figures of speech. He is famously known as the king of the Alliteration (TajneesHarfi) whose famous forms are: TajneesTaam, TajneesNaqis, TajneesMazeel, TajneesMurakib, TajneesQalb etc. This research paper is analysis of Antanaclasis in his poetry. Antanaclasis means usage of same word at different places in prose or poetry giving different shades of meaning and thoughts. As far as Antanaclasis in Sindhi prose or poetry is concerned, our scholars have given vague concept of term as well as inappropriate examples in their respective works. But when we analyze Antanaclasis in molvi Ahmed’s poetry and his grip and clarity of the term, we found it very exceptional, clear and outstanding. To our boundless astonishment, he has even composed complete odes regarding Rhyme and Subsequent (Radeef) containing the exceptional usage of Antanaclasis in his poetry, that has no any other example before us in any other writer’s work. This paper aims at doing analysis of Antanaclasis in Molvi Ahmed Mallah’s match-to-nothing poetry.
