Stylistics in Bidel Dihlavi's Ghazals

The present paper aims to throw light on what distinguishes Bidel Dihlavi’s poetry from other poetries in the Indian style. Apart from his mental and image delicacies, he exhibits a treatment of poetry far different from what other poets do. There is a difference between his sentence and word structure in his Divan (collection of poems) that can be discerned from what is typically seen in other works of the same style. In this article, efforts have been made to deal with these differences and to identify the peculiar stylistics used in his poetry. These traits make the language of his poetry prominent and give it a defamiliarization feature.
