1. There came to us and him a page of a book
On which regret made its ink freely flow
١. وافى لَنا وَلَهُ صَحيفَةُ صَفحَةٍ
جَعَلَ العِذارُ بِها يَسيلُ مَدادا
2. Frowning, as if regretting the passing of youth,
Spreading grief over youth like mourning clothes
٢. مُتَجَهِّماً ثَكِلَ الشَبابِ كَأَنَّما
نَشَرَ العِذارُ عَلى الشَبابِ حِدادا
