Back ground:
According to Bassnett and Gundy (1993)

In other words we can say that “stylistics studies literary texts by means of linguistic explanation.” Short also give an idea about his attention not only in the (linguistics) forms of he evaluate texts (i.e. How), but he also studies the meaning (i.e. what) of the text in the common sense of scheme and on the whole message of a story. From this point of view short (1996, p.1) further says, "Stylistics can sometimes look like either linguistics or literary criticism, depending upon where you are standing where looking at it".

Sheher Qaiser Ka Jo Tha, Us Ko Kiya Sar Kis Ne (That city of Caesar's --- Who subdued it.) Stanza 9, Line no 1, 2
[3] Tujh Ko Chora Keh Rasool-e-Arabi (S.A.W.) Ko Chora? (Did we abandon you, or did we abandon the Prophet of Arabia?)
Boutgari Paisha Kiya, Bout Shikani Ko Chora? (Did we make idol-making our profession, did we abandon idol-breaking?)
Stanza 21, Line no 1, 2
In all above examples the sound (k) and (b) are repeating sounds and make alliteration. These are consonants and also emphasizing the the theme and meaning of words.
