Abstract

Internal music is a poetic system invented by the poet to suit their personal experience. It encompasses all music that arises without metrical rhythm or rhyme, yet it complements the poem by creating a comprehensive rhythm. It is the hidden melody that the soul senses when reading or listening to exceptional literary effects, whether in poetry or prose. This music evokes enthusiasm, sadness, melancholy, tenderness, and various emotions. Its source lies in the poet's skillful selection of words. According to Shawqi Daif, “Behind this apparent music lies hidden music that springs from the poet's choice of words, their harmony in letters and movements, as if the poet has an internal ear behind the apparent one, hearing every form, letter, and movement with utmost clarity, and with this hidden music, poets excel.” The process of repetition imparts a distinct musical tone to “Indeed, the attention to the melodic rhythm and the placement of words in the ears enhances the musicality of poetry. This is because the recurring sounds in the composition of verses, in addition to their tonal quality, contribute to a varied spectrum of auditory hues.” In all their forms, whether it is the repetition of a single letter, a specific word, or an entire phrase. The purpose behind these forms of repetition collectively is to emphasise a particular idea intended by the poet. Key Words: ; ; .
