1. You're deceived by the blackness of the hair
On my face while I am the sincere one
١. غَرَّكَ سودُ الشَعَراتِ الَّتي
في الوَجهِ مِنّي وَأَنا الدالِفُ
2. I was burdened with the morals of a past age
Alas, from you the past age differs
٢. كَلَفَتني شيمَةَ عَصرٍ مَضى
هَيهاتَ مِنكَ العُصرُ السالِفُ
3. And we became weary of a hurtful time
I go from its reconciler the sincere
٣. وَقَد سَئِمنا زَمَناً مُؤذِياً
أَروَحُ مِن سالِمِهِ التالِفُ
4. He swears he won't keep anyone
And righteousness in his faith the swearer
٤. يَحلِفُ لا أَبّقى عَلى واحِدٍ
وَبِرٌّ في إيمانِهِ الحالِفُ
