«ومنه القلب: وهو أن يكون معنى الثاني نقيض معنى الأول»
“One form is reversal: the meaning of the second is the opposite of the first.”
The later poet does not simply repeat the earlier proposition; he turns its central claim around to produce an opposing conclusion. The reversal carries rhetorical force only when the contrary claim is meaningful, not mere arbitrary contradiction.
Distinction: This is not simply the figure of antithesis. Antithesis concerns opposed expressions within discourse; here the focus is the relationship between two separate poetic statements.
