وَعانَقتُand I embraced خَلقٌa creature مِنfrom صُدغِهِhis temple-lock خَلقاًa creature
وَعانَقتُ خَلقٌ مِن صُدغِهِ خَلقاً
كَالعَينِlike the letter ʿayn فيwithin العَينِthe letter ʿayn أَوor كَالجيمِlike the letter jīm فيwithin الجيمِthe letter jīm
كَالعَينِ في العَينِ أَو كَالجيمِ في الجيمِ
And I embraced a beauty—his temple-lock forming a figure
And I embraced a creature—a creature from his temple-lock—
like an ʿayn within an ʿayn, or a jīm within a jīm.
Like an ʿayn within an ʿayn, or a jīm within a jīm.
