This research is a study of analogy in the collection of poetry (‘‘الغفران بساتين‘‘

Orchardes of Forgiveness) by Ahmad Raza Khan. It also contains a brief description

of the poet and his Dewan (collection of poetry) and rhetorical analysis and its types.

The poet has plenty of literary work and his qualifications and educational excellence

is well known in the subcontinent in particular and in the Arab World in general. This

Dewan is a fine example from the vast sea of his writings. In this research we only

focused examples of analogy, which is one of many types of rhetorical study, in the

said Dewan. This research also shows the marvellous use of this type in the Arabic
