1. Salma was amazed, and that is amazing
She saw some white hairs on me, worries brought on early
١. لَقَد عَجِبَت سَلمى وَذاكَ عَجيبُ
رَأَت بِيَ شَيباً عَجَّلَتهُ خُطوبُ
2. It was not old age that whitened me, but
In a time when even the youth's head turns white
٢. وَما شَيَّبَتني كِبرَةٌ غَيرَ أَنَّني
بِدَهرٍ بِهِ رَأسُ الفَطيمِ يَشيبُ
