1. يا يوسُف الحسنِ في عِشقك شَغفني الحبّ

    وَقَد عَلاني الجَوى وَالدمع منّي صبّ

    O Yusuf of beauty, love has enthralled me in my passion for you.

    And love's anguish has indeed overcome me, and tears have poured from me.

  2. يا مَن بِسِحر اللّحاظِ منّي خَطفت اللّبّ

    القَلب حَبّك وفيه اللَّه لَكَ أنزلْ

    O you who have snatched my reason from me with the magic of your glances.

    The heart has loved you; descend into it—may God be with you.

  3. فَأَنتَ يوسف وَقَلبي يا حَبيبي الجُبّ

    For you are Yusuf, and my heart, O my beloved, is the well.
