Most studies on the poetry of Sheikh Hamzah Fansuri are focused on religious and divine aspects, while the linguistic aspect has not been thoroughly explored by any scholars, especially those involving the Syair Dagang manuscript, leading to a noticeable gap in the research. This paper addresses relevant issues such as the identification of linguistic styles, manipulation of language, and the effectiveness resulting from such manipulation. This qualitative study employs literature review methods and content analysis of the manuscript Syair Dagang Adanya with catalogue number MSS 3160. The Stylistics Model by Henry Guntur Tarigan is used as the analytical framework, focusing on the comparative stylistic elements consisting of four forms, namely; (1) simile; (2) metaphor; (3) personification; and (4) anticipation. Comparative stylistic elements refer to the position of comparison and balance in poetry production. The analysis finds that Sheikh Hamzah Fansuri utilizes all four forms in his poetry. In addition to using existing similes, Sheikh Hamzah Fansuri creates new similes, introducing freshness and vigour, thereby producing additional meaning brought about by these variations. Metaphors are manipulated by placing ordinary language in a new context to enable the language to shed its usual meaning, align with new meanings, thus expanding the meaning of his poetry. The use of personification allows objects to create meaning, build atmosphere, convey messages, and expand the scope of the poetry to explore sensitive or forbidden issues. The application of the anticipation form can anticipate or predict something to broaden the scope of his poetry when presenting the realities of the present and future simultaneously, while conveying the message of his poetry. This systematic study is expected to contribute to scholarly research on the use of comparative stylistic elements in Syair Dagang Adanya. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
