Would that the youth whose bloom has passed me by

ليت الشباب الذي ولت نضارته

1. Would that the youth whose bloom has passed me by
Had granted me the wisdom that it denied,

١. ليت الشبابَ الذي ولت نضارتُهُ
أعطانِي الحِلمَ فيما كان أعطاني

2. For then old age was no unworthy load to bear,
Nor half so bitter the remembrance of delight.

٢. فلم تكن مِنةٌ للشيبِ أحملُها
ولم يكن من سروري بعضُ أحزاني
