«إن يقتلوك فقد ثللت عروشهم»
If they kill you, you will already have shaken the foundations of their power.
«بعتيبة بن الحارث بن شهاب»
Through ʿUtaybah son of al-Ḥārith son of Shihāb.
The poem carries a person’s name into the father’s and grandfather’s names without scattering the order or forcing the syntax. This fluent lineage sequence is the defining feature of iṭrād.
Its effect is not dependent on the sounds of the individual names, but on ordered ancestry integrated smoothly into the verse.
