1. He dyed the gray hair with henna so that
His beauty would shine through his fine adornment
١. وقحملَ الخضابَ على المَشيبِ لكيْ
يُصْبي الحسانَ بديعُ حِلْيَتِه
2. He was never happier than on the morning when
His conscience matched the color of his beard
٢. ما كان أسعدَهُ غداةَ يُرى
وضميرُه كضميرِ لِحْيتِه
