نَفسي الفِداءُ لِشادِنٍ شاهَدتُه

يَومَ الزِيارَةِ قارِئاً في المُصحَفِ

My soul is the ransom for Shadin, whom I saw

On visitation day, reciting from the Mus'haf,

فَتَنَ الأَنامَ بِبَهجَةٍ وَبِلَهجَةٍ

تَسبي وَتُصبي كُلَّ صَبٍّ مُدنِفِ

Charming people with joy and an accent

That captures and pours into every complaining heart.

فَتَلا مَلِياً جُلَّ سورَةِ يوسُفِ

وَجَلا مُحَيّاً مِثلِ صورَةِ يوسُفِ

So he read the entire surah of Yusuf smoothly,

And appeared as beautiful as the image of Yusuf.
