1. عرض المشيب لعارضي فزادني

    ذلا وزاد ذوي المحاسن تيها

    Gray hair appeared on my cheeks and made me

    more abased, and made those endowed with beauty more conceited.

  2. وأرتني المرآة يوما صورتي

    فطفقت أبصق للسماجة فيها

    And one day the mirror showed me my reflection,

    so I began spitting into it because of the ugliness.
