Al-aḍyāf means guests, and al-qirā is food or hospitality offered to them. Yet the continuing battle context turns these expressions into irony or mock hospitality. The next line makes the reversal sharper.
The surface vocabulary belongs to courteous hosting, but the communicative intent is hostile confrontation. A literal reading as a peaceful banquet would break the poem’s thematic sequence.
