A woman with contracted fingers—how beautiful she is
How graceful she is and how wondrous,
in face, and how astonishing she is!
Her face and her charm, a marvel to others,
كأنَّهاas though she قدْalready لمسَتْshe touched
كأنَّها قدْ لمسَتْ

شيئاً وما أعجبَها
As though she had touched
As though she had touched something divine,
something, and it had not pleased her.
Leaving her dazed and ever so finer.
