1. O gray hair, how could time have passed so fast since my youth
You hastened the black sorrow upon me
١. يا شَيبُ كَيفَ وما انقَضى زَمنُ الصبِّا
عاجَلتَ منِّي اللمَّةَ السوداءَ
2. Do not hasten, by Him who made the darkness radiance
In the night of my confused life
٢. لا تعجلنَّ فوا الذي جَعلَ الدُّجى
في لَيلِ طُرَّتي البهيمِ ضِياءَ
3. If on Judgement Day it were my record
My heart would rejoice that it is blank
٣. لَو أَنَّها يَومَ الحِسابِ صَحيفتي
ما سرَّ قَلبي كَونُها بَيضَاءَ
