يُلَوِّثُ لِحيَةً عَرُضَت وَطالَت

وَيَمرُثُها كَتَمريثِ الخَميدَه

He defiles a beard that once broadened and lengthened

And combs it like combing a withered palm branch

فَيا لَكِ لِحيَةً وَضَرى وَشَيباً

كَأَنَّكَ قَد أَكَلتَ بِها مَضيرَه

What a beard you have, and misery and grayness!

As if you have eaten rotten meat with it
