1. After sixty years that I have lived
Asma is surprised at my greying hair

2. But I’m more surprised if I hadn’t aged
And grey hairs didn’t descend upon my temples

3. If you resent the greying of my hair
Then how many hopes has man been denied

4. And if one day you get to choose for me
My greying hair is better than my death

5. So don’t be angry at what time has done
For you have nothing left except anger
