Party’s Star Beauty
Najeeb Yamani reads Fahd Aaft’s poem “The Enchantment of the Gathering” as more than love poetry: it makes a woman’s beauty a force that reshapes the world, turning her walk into lightning and a horse’s whinny, her hair into night, and her face into morning. Its imagery rests on paradoxes that bring together allure and modesty, departure and stillness, trembling and composure, while her gaze grants the lover both pride and abasement. In the poem’s closing lines, the poet himself becomes captive to the image, immersed in al-Khalil’s poetic meters, so that the poem becomes part of the beauty it describes.
