Has Ibn al-Amin’s body captivated you, as
Did Ibn al-Amin's body captivate you, as
the bathhouse’s dewdrops streamed over him?
dewdrops from the bath streamed over it,

Like a bough meeting the fire’s heat at close range,
like a branch exposed at close range to the fire's heat,
water kept dripping from his every curve.
so water kept dripping from its sides?
