Tashṭīr is a patterned division within poetry, where the hemistichs or their segments adopt a sajʿ-like verbal arrangement.
«تَجَلَّى بِهِ رُشْدِي وَأَثْرَتْ بِهِ يَدِي وَفَاضَ بِهِ ثَمَدِي وَأَوْرَى بِهِ زَنْدِي»
“Through him my judgment shone, my hand prospered, my store overflowed and my spark was kindled.”
The clustered sounds in rushdī, yadī, thamadī, zandī shape the verse internally. This is more specific than the poem’s ordinary final rhyme.
