Abstract

The study sheds light on the beauty of language in classical Kurdish poetry, especially Nali’s poems in order to illustrate the rhetoric in the musical language, the rhythm and rhyme used in the poems. The rhythm used in all of his poems follow the classical Aruz rhythm and are all rhymed. Therefore, his poems are highly attractive for readers to think and ponder. The paper adopted a descriptive analysis approach. The findings of the study are as follows.

1. The poetic language of Nali is highly rhetoric and decorated with meaningful words. Some of the rhetoric devices used in his poems are paradox, alliteration, simile, Allusion, twisting, contras, diffusion and many others.
2. The syntactic structure of the poems is preserved, although some parts of the sentences are interchangeably used.
3. His poems are written in the Aruzeen rhythm, such as Hazaj, Ramal, Muzarii, Rajaz, Mujtas, Basit and Taweel
4. He doesn’t have any poems without rhyme. For letters (a, b, t, j, ch, r, e, z, zh, s, sh, q, k, g, l, m, n, h, w, o, i. t) he has created rhymes but for letters (kh, gh, v, d, p, th. Dh, s, h) he doesn’t have rhymes. Therefore, his diwan is seen as a pure Kurdish divan in terms of rhyme. Except the letter (t) he has not created rhyme for other than Kurdish letters.
