I saw the girls have come to dislike my company

رأيت العذارى قد تكرهن مجلسي

1. I saw the girls have come to dislike my company
And say, "All the youth has turned away from you."

١. رَأَيتُ العَذارى قَد تَكَرَّهنَ مَجلِسي
وَقُلنَ تَوَلّى عَنكَ كُلَّ شَبابِ

2. They frown when I jest with them, though sometimes
I see them moved despite themselves to smile.

٢. يَنُرنَ إِذا هازَلتُهُنَّ وَرُبَّما
أَراهُنَّ في الإِثآرِ غَيرَ نَوابي

3. They chide me for the loss of youth now past,
And I say to them, "Reproach me not therefor."

٣. عَتَبنَ عَلى فَقدِ الشَبابِ الَّذي مَضى
فَقُلتُ لَهُنَّ لا تَحينَ عِتابِ
