«فَسَقَى الْغَضَا وَالسَّاكِنِيهِ وَإِنْ هُمُ شَبُّوهُ بَيْنَ جَوَانِحِي وَضُلُوعِي»
May al-ghaḍā and its inhabitants be watered, though they have kindled it within my breast and ribs.

Al-ghaḍā names a particular tree and also a place associated with it. The pronoun of al-sākinīhi (“its inhabitants”) activates the place, because people inhabit places. The pronoun of shabbūhu (“they kindled it”) suggests the wood whose fire can be lit.

Two pronouns linked to one lexical expression therefore select distinct senses. This is the distinguishing structure of the second type.
