Turkish term or phrase: kuşunu avladı
Az bulunur bir sevgili, emsali görülmemiş
bir boy, gönül ve can kuşunu pervasızca avladı.
Ey ay yüzlü, gel, neredesin?
Ey Allahıım, feryadımı işit.

invaded one's soul
Explanation:
That is actually "can kuşunu avladı". "Can kuşu" is a phrase meaning soul. I think "invaded his soul" could be an exact and good tranlation for the Turkish term.
