Sol 6.1

  1. عدلتُ عن الصّبا صَعَري وَمَيْلي

    وشمَّرَتِ الخطوبُ فضولَ ذَيْلي

    I turned my head’s proud tilt and my inclination away from youthful folly.

    And hardships tucked up the excess length of my trailing hem.

  2. وأوضح لي المشيبُ سبيلَ رشدٍ

    وكنتُ كخابطٍ عَشواءَ ليلِ

    And gray hair made clear to me the path of sound judgment,

    though I had been like one stumbling blindly through the night.
