قال لِمَن يَحلِقهُ
وَشعرُهُ مُختَلِطُ
He said to the man shaving him,
with his hair a mix of colors:
بِاللَهِ قُل ما لَونُهُ
أَأَسوَدٌ أَم أَشمَطُ
"By God, tell me, what color is it?
Is it black or streaked with gray?"
فَقالَ رِفقاً يا فَتى
بَينَ يَدَيكَ يَسقُطُ
Then he replied, "Easy, young man—
it is falling right before you."
Sol 6.1
