When she sings, she brings disaster and draws the life out on every beat; her dance stirs up a hundred troubles, and the chime of her anklet bells is just as mesmerizing.
In this couplet, the poet vividly captures the intoxicating spell cast by the beloved's performance. Her voice is so intensely moving that every musical beat feels like it steals the soul away, while her dance unleashes a whirlwind of sweet chaos in the gathering. Amid all this delightful turmoil, the steady, enchanting chime of her ankle bells keeps the lover utterly transfixed.
