وَإِنْ يَلْتَقِ الْحَيُّ الْجَمِيعُ تُلَاقِنِي
إِلَى ذُرْوَةِ الْبَيْتِ الرَّفِيعِ الْمُصَمَّدِ
Meaning: If the entire tribe comes together, you will find me at the summit of a lofty, honored house toward which others turn.
Yaltaqi al-ḥayyu al-jamīʿ imagines the tribe assembled as a whole. Dhurwat al-bayt literally evokes a house’s summit but refers here to eminence in lineage and public standing. Al-muṣammad describes something sought out or turned toward. The image elevates his claimed social rank without requiring a literal rooftop scene.
