Abstract: This study examines Hur Shah's Shina poetry's stylistic elements, focused on the poem Shodaar. The analysis follows Leech and Short's (2007) stylistic framework, which looks at phonological, grammatical, and lexical levels, and takes a qualitative and descriptive approach. The study finds that Hur Shah used a variety of stylistic elements, including as sound patterns, sentences, phrases, parts of speech, and figures of speech, all of which add to Hur Shah's unique poetic style. The results show that these techniques are intentionally and creatively employed to express deeper meanings and hidden themes in the poem. This study advances our knowledge of Shina literary aesthetics and seeks to motivate more investigation into the relationship among language, style, and thematic depth in regional poetry.
