كَأَنَّ مُثَارَ النَّقْعِ فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِنَا وَأَسْيَافَنَا لَيْلٌ تَهَاوَى كَوَاكِبُهُ
The rising battle dust over our heads and swords resembles a night whose stars are falling.
The subject is not simply dust: it is the entire scene of battle dust and flashing swords. The model is not merely night: it is a night whose bright stars seem to fall through darkness.
The ground is a composite visual configuration—bright moving points within a dark surrounding field. The resemblance resides in the whole organized scene.
