قَد عُهِدَ الجَوهَرُ بِالحُزنِ

قَد عُهِدَ الجَوهَرُ بِالحُزنِ

فَلا تَخَف عاقِبَةَ السِجنِ

فَلا تَخَف عاقِبَةَ السِجنِ

The jewel has indeed been known amid sorrow;

The essence is known through sorrow

So do not fear the outcome of imprisonment.

So fear not the fate of prison

يوسُفُ نالَ المُلكَ مِن بَعدِهِ

يوسُفُ نالَ المُلكَ مِن بَعدِهِ

وَعاشَ في عِزٍّ وَفي أَمنِ

وَعاشَ في عِزٍّ وَفي أَمنِ

Joseph attained kingship after it,

Joseph attained the kingdom after it

And lived in honor and in safety,

And lived in glory and security

مِن بَعدِ ما أَعمى أَباهُ البُكا

مِن بَعدِ ما أَعمى أَباهُ البُكا

وَاِبيَضَّ عَيناهُ مِنَ الحُزنِ

وَاِبيَضَّ عَيناهُ مِنَ الحُزنِ

After weeping had blinded his father,

After he blinded his father with tears

And his eyes had turned white from sorrow.

And whitened his eyes with grief
