تَسَلَّتْ عَمَايَاتُ الرِّجَالِ عَنِ الصِّبَا
وَلَيْسَ فُؤَادِي عَنْ هَوَاكِ بِمُنْسَلِ
“The confusions of youthful passion have passed away for other men, but my heart has not freed itself from its love for you.”
Tasallat describes a fading or withdrawal of attachment. ʿAmāyāt al-rijāl depicts the blinding confusions of passion, and al-ṣibā concerns youth and youthful desire.
The second hemistich, wa-laysa fuʾādī ... bi-munsal, creates an exception: others may have recovered, but the speaker still remains bound to the beloved. This personal contrast supplies the emotional conclusion to the eight-verse descriptive passage.
