1. حَتّامَ أُقتَلُ تهديداً وتَرهيباً

    ما آنَ لي أن أرَى بشراً وتَرحيبَا

    How long shall I be slain by threats and intimidation?

    Is it not time for me to see good cheer and welcome?

  2. يا يوسفَ الحُسْنِ لَيْلي بعدَ فُرقتِكُمْ

    يَحسكي سِنِي يُوسُفٍ طُولاً وتَعذيبَا

    O Joseph of beauty, my night since parting from you

    resembles Joseph's years in length and torment.

  3. والشَّأْنُ في أنَّني أُرمى لأجْلِكُمُ

    بِمِثلِ ما قد رَمى إخوانُهُ الذِّيبَا

    And the trouble is that, on your account, I am accused

    of the same thing his brothers had accused the wolf of.
