This boy has sweet lips like sugar and is like a second Joseph; my heart will never leave him, for this boy is like the well of Canaan.

Here, the poet is utterly enchanted by the beloved's striking beauty, praising his sweet lips like Egyptian sugar and calling him the second Yusuf—the timeless emblem of grace. The true magic lies in the brilliant pun on the word 'chāh', which means both deep yearning and a well. Just as Yusuf was cast into the well of Canaan, the lover's captivated heart has fallen into the inescapable depth of this love and has no wish ever to leave.
