I went into convulsions... like a romantic hero

Verily by your life they were utterly confused in their (lustful) drunkenness.

By thy life, they wandered blindly in their dazzlement,

By thy life, in their intoxication they were wandering bewildered.

Verily, by your life (O Muhammad SAW), in their wild intoxication, they were wandering blindly.

By your life, they were blundering in their drunkenness.

By your life, (O Prophet), they went about blindly stumbling in their intoxication.

By your life, they were bewildered in their drunkenness.

By your life, they wandered blindly in their dazzlement.

By your life, O Muhammad , indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.

By your life! they were blindly wandering on in their intoxication.

By your life, they wandered on in their wild intoxication
