«سريع إلى ابن العم يلطم وجهه / وليس إلى داعي الندى بسريع»
He is quick to strike his cousin’s face, but not quick to answer the call of generosity.
Sarīʿ begins the first hemistich and returns at the very end. The repeated word exposes two conflicting tendencies—speed in aggression and slowness in generosity.
The position is the first hemistich opening, and the relation is repetition.
