سَائِلُ اللَّئِيمِ يَرْجِعُ وَدَمْعُهُ سَائِلٌ
The one who asks a miser returns with tears flowing.
The first sāʾil means a petitioner; the second describes something flowing. Their form is similar but their meanings differ. The relevant comparison is between the two words, not between two prose clause endings.
Substituting “flowing” in another form can preserve a sense while losing the wordplay. Sajʿ is a separate question about terminal sound correspondence; not every jinās is sajʿ.
