وَعائِبٍ عابَني بِشَيبٍ

لَم يَعدُ لَمّا أَلَمَّ وَقتَه

One who finds fault with me for my gray hair

No longer finds pleasure when his time comes

فَقُلتُ لِلعائِبي بِشَيبي

يا عائِبَ الشَيبِ لا بَلَغتَه

So I said to the one who finds fault with my gray hair

O fault finder of gray hair, you haven't reached it yet
