If she unsheathes my blade, Yusuf appears.
Our swords flashed like Joseph's smile
The lion’s heart is terrified at my deadly assault.
My heart pounded like a lion on the prowl
ولُحْتُand I gleamed مثلَlike البَرْقِlightning فيin كَفِّهhis palm
ولُحْتُ مثلَ البَرْقِ في كَفِّه
لاnot يُنْكَرُis deemed strange البَرْقُlightning علىwith الغَيْثِthe rain
لا يُنْكَرُ البَرْقُ على الغَيْثِ
And I gleamed like lightning in his palm.
I charged like lightning in his hand
Lightning is not deemed strange with the rain.
None can deny the lightning comes from rain
