1. Youth has passed and old age has come following it
Proceeding gloriously without leg or foot
١. وَلَّى الشّبابُ وَجاءَ الشّيبُ يَتبَعُهُ
يَسري مُجدّاً بِلا ساقٍ وَلا قدمِ
2. On my temples strode my grey hair, and no wonder!
For the dawn has strode in the darkness of night
٢. في عارِضَيَّ سَرى شَيبي وَلا عَجبٌ
فَقَد سَرى الصّبحُ في داجٍ مِنَ الظُّلَمِ
