1. تَعَجَّبت أَن رَأَت مَشِيبي

    يَضحَكُ فِي مَفرِقِي سُمَيّه

    Sumayya marveled when she saw my gray hair

    Laughing in the parting of my hair.

  2. لا تَعجَبِي فالبَيَاضُ زِيّ

    مِن زيّ قَومِي بَنِي أُمَيَّه

    Do not marvel, for white is a garb

    Among the garbs of my people, the sons of Umayya.
