ذر المآثر لا تذهب لطلبها
Abandon virtues; do not set out in pursuit of them.
Compared with the earlier example, “ذر” replaces “دع,” “المآثر” replaces “المكارم,” and “لا تذهب” replaces “لا ترحل.” The words change, but the pointed ironic command remains close.
This demonstrates that substituting near-synonyms does not automatically create a new literary thought. Full literary evaluation still considers the surrounding lines, purpose and shades of meaning.
