هي إِن شجَّها المِزاجُ وشابتْ

هي إِن شجَّها المِزاجُ وشابتْ

عاد من وقتهِ المشيبُ شبابا

If the diluent thins her and she turns gray,

If her temperament is stirred and youth returns,

Her grayness turns at once back into youth.

Age becomes youth again after its time.

خلتُها كالسَّرابِ في حَالَةِ المَزْ

خلتُها كالسَّرابِ في حَالَةِ المَزْ

جِ فلمَّا استحالَ عادتْ شرابا

جِ فلمَّا استحالَ عادتْ شرابا

I thought her like a mirage in the act of mix-

I left her like a mirage when upset,

ing; then, when it changed, she became a drink again.

But when it changed, it turned to drink.
