When my body was dragged towards the prison from above

I became a stranger and alone from the close ones of the Presence

Suddenly, in the midst of the prison, a turtledove became my companion

Whose desire cast a thousand passions in my mind

Everyone seeks release from calamity and imprisonment, but not I

Why should I go, what face should I bring to the outside, while the beloved is here?

For except for the corner of the prison, I do not reach his solitude

For honey is not purified except by the fire of the heart

A glance towards relatives, a glance towards him, distraught

A glance at that desire, a glance at this spectacle

When one is Joseph's companion, no one will be harmed if he has

A garden in the midst of the prison, especially our Joseph

He will run with eyes and sight towards the prison, whoever

Such a demand comes to him from such a sugar cane field

I heard from the stars that if anyone finds

A trace of the light of that moon, inform us

When you reach this gem, it is fitting for you out of generosity

To set foot like Moses, passing through the seven seas

News of him, out of the envy of souls, does not reach the moon and stars

For when his moon rises, it melts the heavens

I am ashamed to describe his face, by God, I will close my mouth

What can the water carrier take from the sea and from the ocean of musk?
