This is from a PhD dissertation in Hindi, submitted to a university from Jhansi in 1989.
In Hindi poetry, Upma Alankar is a type of rhetorical device that involves drawing a comparison between two things, using words like "like" or "as," to highlight a similarity or shared characteristic.
It's a form of simile.
Some examples follow:
Upmaa
1- Chaand si mahbooba ho meri, kab maine aisa socha tha.
2- Ban than ke main bhi le nikli, jaise saawan mein chamke bijli.
3- Kaari raina ke maathe pe chamke chaand si bindiya.
4- Tapasviyon si hain atal ye parvaton ki chotiyaan.
5- Khile phoolsi teri javaani, koi bataaye kahaan kasar hai.
6- Nainon mein amrit ke pyaale, tan neelgagan sa nirmal hai.
7- Chandra saa mukhda tha uska, chandra-mukhi tha naam.
8- Moti jaisa rang, rang mein ras ka saagar lahraaye.
9- Gaure gaure chaand se mukh par kaali kaali ankhen.
10- Lachke mori sutlisi jo kamariya.
