قضى حسنهُ فليبكهِ اليوم عاشقُه

وعاد هشيماً آسهُ وشقائقُه

His beauty passed, so today his lover weeps,

And his lily and oxeye turned to rubble.

تكدّر في خدَّيه ماءُ شبابهِ

أَلم ترَ قد لاحت عليهِ علائقُه

The water of youth in his cheeks grew bitter.

Can't you see the signs of old age upon him?
