«وإن أخذ المعنى وحده سمي إلمامًا وسلخًا»
“If the meaning alone is taken, it is called ilmām and salkh.”
The wording may differ substantially while the central idea remains recognizable. The later poet recasts the thought through a new syntactic pattern, image or verbal presentation.
A merely cosmetic rewrite is not necessarily an independent invention. Yet a revision that establishes a fresh relationship, argument or setting may add significant rhetorical value.
