1. By your life! No beard was worn by Joseph
But he did gain more beauty and charm
١. لَعَمرُكَ ما أَزرَت بِيوسِفَ لَحيَةٌ
وَلَكِنَّهُ قَد زادَ حُسناً وَأُضعِفا
2. So do not make excuses in loving him or seeking him
For gold is only beautified when minted and stamped
٢. فَلا تَعتَذِر في حُبِّهِ في اِلتِحائِهِ
فَما يَحسُنُ الدينارُ إِلّا مُشَنَّفا
