وَحَتَّامَ تَتَنَاهَى فِي زَهْوِكَ، وَلَا تَنْتَهِي عَنْ لَهْوِكَ؟
How long will you continue in your vanity and fail to desist from distracting amusement?
Zahwika / lahwika differ by one consonant while naming pride and amusement. The preacher pairs a question about excessive pride with another about refusing to stop pointless diversions. Similar endings and clause structures give the rebuke momentum.
A second pairing, tatanāhā / tantahī, contrasts pressing onward with desisting. The recurring interrogative cadence keeps the listener under direct scrutiny. This is rhythmic prose; resemblance to patterned verse is not enough to assign it to any particular poetic metre.
