“Wa-akhfta ahla al-shirki ḥattā innahu”
You terrified the people of shirk to such an extent that…
“La-takhāfuka al-nuṭafu allatī lam tukhlaq”
Even the unborn, not-yet-created embryos would fear you.
The poet extends terror beyond existing people to those who have not yet come into existence. The phrase “al-nuṭaf allatī lam tukhlaq” identifies the point of rational impossibility: fear is attributed to beings without actual existence or perception.
The lesson is not that stronger words automatically give better poetry. Acceptance depends on rhetorical context, qualifying expressions or imaginative skill.
