1. Every good thing has a detriment
And the detriment of a young man is the growth of his beard

2. O branch, when you donned radiance
And the light smiled upon it, its people rejoiced

3. Shaving the beard took the place of uprooting it
So spare me from the sword of annihilation

4. The eclipse of the moonlit nights is hideous
So how will it be if it afflicts the sun of daybreak

5. He whose cheek is blackened by his beard
Is dead though not under the earth
