Yusuf

أُمِّي

My mother

حَمْدًا للهِ عَلَى سَلَامَتِكِ يَا أُمِّي

Praise be to God for your safety, Mother

لَقَدِ اشْتَقْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَا وَلَدِي، لَا تَتْرُكْنِي بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ ابْقَ بِجَانِبِي

I have missed you, my son. Do not leave me after today. Stay by my side

أَعِدُكِ أَنْ أَبْقَى مَعَكِ إِلَى الْأَبَدِ، لَنْ أَسْمَحَ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَمَسَّكِ بِسُوءٍ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ

I promise you I will stay with you forever. I will not let anyone harm you after today

لِنَعُدْ إِلَى أَبِيكِ وَأُخْتِكِ يَا يُوسُفُ

Let us go back to your father and sister, Yusuf

نَعَمْ، أَعْطِينِي يَدَكِ

Yes, give me your hand

عَلَى مَشَارِفِ الْقَصْرِ كَانَ الْوَالِي أَبُو يُوسُفَ وَاقِفًا شَامِخًا

On the outskirts of the palace, the Governor, Abu Yusuf, stood tall

وَلَكِنَّ الْبَالَ مَشْغُولٌ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ وَابْنِهِ

But his mind was preoccupied with his wife and son

يُحَاوِلُ إِخْفَاءَ قَلَقِهِ وَحُزْنِهِ عَلَى غِيَابِهِمَا

He tries to hide his anxiety and sadness over their absence
