Arabic translation:تأخذنا أخذاً، تحرقنا حرقاً، تسحقنا سحقاً، تذيب كياننا
Explanation:
"To be eaten up dry" means to be consumed, as if by fire. The implication is that passion should completely obliterate our existence, so we may rise again totally renewed. For this reason, I would suggest:
تأخذنا أخذاً
تحرقنا حرقاً
تسحقنا سحقاً
تديب كياننا

نملأ جوارحنا كلها


Explanation:
The text does not say by what we need to be eaten up dry, so I assume it's passion, if it's something else please replace accordingly
Since this is about strong and burning love, and the sentence is written in a literary style, we respond in kind
نملأ جوارحنا كلها بالعاطفة الجامحة
أو ندع الحماسة تتملكنا وكل شعرة فينا

agree  Yassine El Bouknify: It's a hyperbolic sentence, and your translation is quite good even though the context is dry
