1. Do you know today the abode and its ruins,
As you knew the blemishes with the eyelid of the polished sword?

2. A house for Marwa, when my family and her family
In Al-Kanisiyyah we graze playfulness and love poems.

3. Your youth from us did depart and went away,
And grey hair appeared in the head, it blazed and sparked.

4. Indeed the youth which we used to weigh with it,
Left and we did not fulfill any of its pleasures.

5. The youth left commendably with no returning,
And the head replaced from me the worst it substituted.

6. Grey hair branched out, its landmarks make me cry,
It became and the blackness of the head transitioned and left.

7. I wish youth upon us, its traveling camels stopped by,
And grey hair became from us today transferred and moved.

8. Youth bid farewell and death succeeded it,
No welcome to the abode of grey hair when it lodged.

9. Why did my wedding elongate my requesting of it?
It started picking faults with me and illnesses.
