Had they seen the beauty of his cheek in Egypt

فلو نظروا في مصر أوصاف خده

1. Had they seen the beauty of his cheek in Egypt
They would not have looked another day at the red rose.

١. فَلَو نَظَروا في مصر أَوصاف خَده
لَما نَظَروا يَوماً إِلى حمرة الوَرد

2. Had they witnessed his radiant face and stature
They would not have spent their money on Joseph.

٢. وَلَو شاهدوا وَجهاً مُنيراً وَقامة
لَما بَذَلوا في سَوم يوسف مِن نَقد

3. Had Zulaikha’s cheeks seen his forehead
They would have lost all senses, filled with desire.

٣. لَواحي زليخا لَو رأَين جبينه
لَغابوا عَن الإِحساس شَوقاً بِلا عَمد

4. Had they smelled the fragrance of his body
They would have preferred to cut out their hearts rather than their hands.

٤. وَلَو انَّهُم شَموا عَبيراً بِجسمه
لآثرن في القطع القُلوب عَلى الأَيدي
