لَعَمرُكَ ما أَزرَت بِيوسِفَ لَحيَةٌ

وَلَكِنَّهُ قَد زادَ حُسناً وَأُضعِفا

By your life! No beard was worn by Joseph

But he did gain more beauty and charm

فَلا تَعتَذِر في حُبِّهِ في اِلتِحائِهِ

فَما يَحسُنُ الدينارُ إِلّا مُشَنَّفا

So do not make excuses in loving him or seeking him

For gold is only beautified when minted and stamped
