قال صحبي إذ رأوا من هام في

لحية كانت عذارا ومضى

My friend said when they saw my infatuation with her,

"A beard that was once fragrant has now gone."

فات وقت الحسن منها قلت لا

ذا إمامُ الفسق قد صلى قضا

I said "No! Its time of beauty may have passed,

But if the imam of sinfulness has prayed, his prayers are accepted."
