Different ideas in the poem are bound together by a recurring r-rhyme. The paired endings are memorable, yet each pair advances a new part of the appeal:
Rhyme pairLiterary purposeSharran / ḍarranA blessing on the hostsMughbarran / muṣfarranThe traveller’s exhaustionMuʿtarran / mustaqarranNeed and a search for refugeḤurran / amarranDignity and willingness to accept
At the end, the stranger also indicates that he will spread praise of the household's kindness. The poem moves coherently from blessing to hardship, request, and gratitude.
