The alliteration used is to emphasize the rhythm in the poem. On the other hand, the poet also describes a certain rhyme scheme in each stanza. For example, the first verse has a rhyme scheme like this: a, b, c, d, e, a. With this, the rhyme scheme depicted is irregular. Thus, the poem does not have a regular rhythm. Furthermore, the poet uses a specific style of consonance, which is present in the poem (Ahmed & Ayesha, p. 11). The poet also uses the style of assonance depicted in the seventh stanza, “For seven whole days I did not see my beloved.” The letter “o” was repeated to create rhythm and show desperation in the poem. In the penultimate line of the seventh stanza the poet uses the style of consonance: “If I embrace her, the disease will drive me away. This way the letter "l" is repeated across the entire line. The poet's purpose in using this style of consonance is to establish rhythm in the poem and add phonetics
