1. يا يُوسف الحُسن إِن الهَجر أَنحل صب

    باً نالَهُ مِنكَ ما أَوهى قوَى جَسدِهْ

    O Joseph of beauty, separation has wasted a lovesick man,

    afflicted by something from you that sapped his body's strength.

  2. فَامنن عَلَيهِ بِطَيف إِن أَلمّ كَرىً

    بطرفه علَّه يطفي لَظى كبده

    So grant him a dream-vision, if slumber should visit

    his eye—perhaps he may quench the blaze in his liver.
