The poet depicts himself as a daring lover passing guards, but when the woman speaks her words contain warning and disapproval. Attending to both voices prevents the passage from becoming a one-sided romantic celebration.
Lā yurāmu khibāʾuhā establishes protection, tajāwaztu aḥrāsan presents the poet’s daring claim, and mā in arā ʿanka al-ghawāyata tanjalī gives the woman’s objection. These perspectives interact without being identical.
