إِبيَضَّ مِنّي الرَأسُ بَعدَ سَوادِهِ

إِبيَضَّ مِنّي الرَأسُ بَعدَ سَوادِهِ

وَدَعا المَشيبُ حَليلَتي لِبُعادِ

وَدَعا المَشيبُ حَليلَتي لِبُعادِ

My head turned white after being black,

My head turned white after its blackness

And gray hair urged my wife to draw away.

And old age called my beloved to distance
