تلفّني

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

Does this mean 'call me/draw me to'?

وقفتُ والريح الباردة تنقل أوراق ما تبقّى من أشجار تلفّني على عتبات القصر.

So the movement of the leaves is what drew him to the palace? I know this verb usually means to wrap/wind, but the على is what is confusing me here.

Thanks!
