1. I say to her charm as she rises
Woe to the healthy from the sick

2. The rubble of footsteps walk
As you parsed the verses of prosody

3. Our affliction was prolonged by long hair
It turns it on a wide saddle

4. It pitched with the two buttocks tents for him
So what was there of the lowlands overflowed

5. A forbidden woman saw my passion so she understood
As the opposite was carried on the opposite

6. Yearning called her so she woke up to it
As the prisoner woke up to the ransom

7. The prisoner of truth in an equal rule
So the beloved is not known from the hated

8. It turns every side in issues
And meets people with the loathsome glance

9. Pages of books sufficed him from time
So that is the days of black and white

10. He stands from prayer to virtues
And from Sunan Al-Kitab to obligatory duties

11. The imam of poetry innovates rhymes
And feels safe around him from the dirty

12. And produces in meanings every virgin
Of those who despaired of menstruation

13. Youssef made Beirut Egypt
The flowing Nile of overflowing knowledge

14. He quenched and so he clarified the echo
For us what is ambiguous in issues

15. A perfect writer, valiant in him
The harshness of eloquent sermons softens

16. Praise is too little for him even if we took
His rhymes from the delightful garden

17. And I am not one who wakes up the truth but
We were late to the appointed time

18. We met him when he had become ruins
And the people won with the intense strife

19. We go away as we came in thirst
And lightning deceives us with flashes

20. And the best spring is the cup of death
When punishment needs insects
