1. سارَ بي للأمِيرِ يشْكو اعْتِراضي

    يوسُفٌ والشّهودُ أبْناءُ جِنْسِهْ

    He led me to the emir, complaining that I had accosted him—

    Yusuf, with witnesses of his own kind.

  2. قالَ لي ما تَقولُ قُلْتُ مُجيباً

    لمْ نَخَفْ منْ نكالِهِ أوْ لحَبْسِهْ

    He said to me, “What do you say?” I said in reply:

    “We feared neither his punishment nor imprisonment at his hands.

  3. حصْحَصَ الحقُّ يا خَوَنْدُ فدَعْني

    أنا راوَدْتُ يوسفاً عنْ نفسِهِ

    The truth has come to light, my lord, so let me be:

    I was the one who sought to seduce Yusuf.”
