1. A youth possessed allure, so I was struck with wonder
For a dawn that began with the eve of night

2. He feared my inclination from him, so he was upon it
And little was my deviation and inclination from him

3. And gray hair demanded from him the reversal of my generosity
Like the goodness of him corrupting my attainment

4. That gray hair came in other than its time, so it covered him
The gown of my saliva with its train

5. And it increased his beauty and goodness
Increased my pining of love and my misery

6. And gray hair acted childishly, so we said
The childish gray-haired one beautified my little child
