My hair turned white, yet I kept being playful

لاح شيبي فظلت أمرح فيه

1. My hair turned white, yet I kept being playful
The playfulness of an eye in a polished bridle

١. لاح شيبي فظلت أمرح فيه
مرح الطّرفِ في اللجام المحلَّى

2. And youth turned away, so I became more perverse
In the arenas of my futile games when it turned away

٢. وتولّى الشباب فازددت غيّاً
في ميادين باطلي إذ تولَّى

3. Indeed, he to whom time was unkind with white hair
Is most deserving of a man to enjoy himself

٣. إنّ من ساءه الزمان بشيب
لأحقّ امرىء بأن يتسلَّى

4. Do you see me tormenting myself for what
Time was unkind to me? No, by my life, not at all

٤. أتراني أسوء نفسي لما
ساءني الدهر لا لَعَمْري كلاَّ
