أُمِرَّتْ يَدَاهَا فَتْلَ شَزْرٍ وَأَجْنَحَتْ
لَهَا عَضُدَاهَا فِي سَقِيفٍ مُسَنَّدِ
Her forelegs are made taut like a rope twisted firmly; her upper forelimbs angle outward, as though they formed a roof firmly supported by structural members.
Two crafted images structure the verse. Fatl shazr represents strong twisted tension, while saqīf musannad suggests an engineered structure supported on its members. The animal is not literally a rope or a building; those objects make the tension and alignment of its limbs intelligible.
