maiden


متعة غامضة بِكر
a mysterious maiden pleasure

The writer wants to portray the first instance of experiencing the pleasure of writing as something new and mysterious, akin to the first sexual experience. It is important to preserve that sense in the translation.

"Maiden" is an old term for an unmarried woman or girl, one who is presumed to be still a virgin. Because of this meaning, the word "maiden" is also used as an adjective to refer to something happening for the first time. It is commonly used for ships ("maiden voyage"), airplanes ("maiden flight"), books ("maiden edition"), professors ("maiden lecture"), boxers ("maiden match"), singers and musicians ("maiden concert"), etc., etc. The experience that this writer felt was a maiden experience.
