1. Gray hair appeared like a star in my dark night
And what guidance is there in pitch darkness without a star?

2. And the black hair strands are not submissive to me
And at night the joy of the full moon appears to them

3. Enjoy the days of youth, for they are
Steeds feeding prudence on the plain and mountain pass

4. For I saw that love is the young man’s cunning
And the garment of anxiety is wretched for the helpless anxious one

5. When the rod of youth bends, companion to the tears
There is apprehension between the companionship of the bow and arrow
