1. Do not ask me about gray hair, for when
It covered my head unwillingly, passion left me.

2. There is no place for frivolity, youth, and pleasure
In the abode of gray hair.

3. Gray hair has not reaped anything from separation
Except the sorrow of singers and days.

4. It is a barrier to beauty just as
Youth takes the place of gray hair completely.

5. It is sickness, and no wish of yours
Has equaled health and sickness for you.

6. And when I shy away from it, experiences say to me
“You have shied away from what is not to be shied from.”
