Textual analysis involves mainly the analysis of music (alliteration (consonance, assonance and rhyme) and tropes; and the extra-textual analysis includes mostly the consideration of cultural implications. The obtained data have been formulated in the practical model of poetry translation by Vahid (2008).The aim is to identify if textual and extra-textual analysis of a poem and it's translation helps the translators in rendering both natural and faithful translation.
