فَدَيْتُكَ ما شِبْتُ مِنْ كِبْرَةٍ

فَدَيْتُكَ ما شِبْتُ مِنْ كِبْرَةٍ

وهَذي سِنّي وهَذا الحِسابُ

وهَذي سِنّي وهَذا الحِسابُ

I would give my life for you; I have not gone gray from old age.

Here is my age, and here is the count of my years.

ولَكِنْ هَجَرْتَ فَحَلَّ المَشي

ولَكِنْ هَجَرْتَ فَحَلَّ المَشي

بُ وَلَوْ قَدْ وَصَلْتَ لَعادَ الشَّبابُ

بُ وَلَوْ قَدْ وَصَلْتَ لَعادَ الشَّبابُ

But you abandoned me, and gray hair

came; had you returned, youth would have returned.
