Full Definition

اشهاهُIV He gave him what he desired or eagerly desired.
2 And He smote him with an [evil] eye: in this sense [said to be] formed by transposition from أَشَاهَهُ.

def.2 مَا أَشْهَاهَا إِلَىَّ means that she is desired, or eagerly desired, [i. e. How great an object of desire is she to me!] as though it were from شُهِىَ, though this was not said: and مَا أَشْهَانِى لَهَا means that thou art desiring, or eagerly desiring, [i. e. How desirous, or eagerly desirous, am I of her!] so says Sb.
