1. My manners in my old age are humbled
And the scent of musk is spread from my poetry
١. أآدَابِي عَلَى كِبَرِي تُضَاعُ
وَعَرفُ المِسكِ مِن نَثرِي يُذَاعُ
2. I am not a worker toiling for others
Nor a judge, so suckling would suffice me
٢. وَلَستُ بِعَامِلٍ أَجبِي وَأَجني
وَلاَ قَاضٍ فَيَكفِينِي الرَّضاعُ
3. I do not sing odes, and my master is near
They lost me, and which young man did they make lost
٣. وَلاَ أَشدُو وَمَولاَيَ قَريبٌ
أَضَاعُونِي وَأَيَّ فَتىً أَضاعوا
