Among the chosen is the prophet Joseph. Desire called out, 'O Zuleikha, entice and play!'

فصوتت ميزان شهوات زليخا بذلك الصبي،
The scales of Zuleikha's desires tipped because of that boy.
زُلَيْخَا — Zuleikha's. This proper name closes the possessive chain as the final owner, 'of Zuleikha'. Arabic places the owning name directly after the owned noun with no word for 'of', and the name's fixed form serves in that possessor position.
