And if old age's home settled next to its neighbor

ولو أن دار الشيب قرت بصاحب

1. And if old age's home settled next to its neighbor
Despite its narrowness, we'd not seek a home but his home

١. وَلَو أَنَّ دارَ الشَيبِ قَرَّت بِصاحِب
عَلى ضيقِها لَم نَبغِ داراً بِدارِهِ

2. But this grey hair is death's guide
Informing us of its nearness by proximity to its burial place

٢. وَلَكِنَّ هَذا الشَيبَ لِلمَوتِ رائِدٌ
يُخَبِّرُنا عَنهُ بِقُربِ مَزارِهِ
