1. My gray hair brought about doom for me
And covered me with the most disgraceful turban

2. So it corrupted my relationship with companions
And distanced the cups of wine from me

3. I was wronged, with no just judge
Who would listen to my injustice because of my gray hair

4. And when I saw the arrows of gray hair
I made dye my intimate friend and confidant

5. And I have not stopped scheming
To restore my youth and decorations

6. Since I dyed my gray hair, I realized
After the distortion of my affairs, how to straighten them

7. And all the traits of youth returned to me
Except for its vitality and intimacy

8. Its blackness indicates
Youth, and it marks it

9. You will regret if you do not dye
So blacken your dye before regret

10. And do not blame me for seeking youth
For my soul has always yearned for it
