1. My hair has changed its color though still on my head,
You have changed, Asma, and turned from my love,

2. If this separation is from you or forgetfulness,
The whiteness of my hair, Asma, is not my doing,

3. You turned away deliberately though you are all my passion,
My greyness would not have occurred had you but glanced at my purpose,

4. One whose sixtieth year has passed cannot be blamed,
For greyness unless he brings death upon himself,

5. I am never to be blamed for my changed color,
If that change occurred not from my own doing.
