الشَيبُ عِنوانُ المَنِي

يَةِ وَهوَ تاريخُ الكِبَر

Hoariness is the harbinger of death,

And it is the chronicle of old age.

وَبَياضُ شَعرِكَ مَوتُ شَع

رِكَ ثُمَّ أَنتَ عَلى الأَثَر

The whiteness of your hair is the death of your hair,

And you are following close behind.

فَإِذا رَأَيتَ الشَيبَ عَم

مَ الرَأَسَ فَالحَذَرَ الحَذَر

So if you see that grayness has spread

Across the head, then take heed, take heed!
