يا مَنْ يُعمِّي على حليلتِه

شيباً يريها خضابُه حَلكا

O you who deceive your beloved

With the dye that makes your gray hair look black

أعجِبْ بتزويرك الخضابَ على

من تتولاه في الخلاء لكا

Be amazed at how you disguise the gray

On the one who meets you alone and naked

لن تنقلَ الشيبَ عن خليقته

ما عشتَ حتى تُصرّف الفلكا

You cannot change the nature of old age

As long as you live, even if you move the stars
