1. My greying hair, stay with me, do not depart,
And be assured, I am devoted to your presence.
١. ياشَيْبَتي دُومي ولا تترَحَّلي
وَتَيَقَّني أنِّي بوَصلِكِ مُولَعُ
2. Once I was saddened by your arrival,
Today I am saddened by the fear you may leave.
٢. قد كنتُ أجزَعُ من حُلولِكِ مرَّةً
واليومَ من خَوفِ التَّرحُّلِ أجزَعُ
