1. Youth has departed, yet no tears have I shed
For a farewell like the departure of that traveler.

2. I used to boast of youth and never thought
That old age would overtake me like dye that fades.

3. A shadow lingered, then swiftly departed.
Woe to one deluded by a vanishing shadow!

4. If you desire a shadow that does not disappear,
Head for the one cast by the just imam.
