صبوت وهل عار على الحر إن صبا

وقيد بعشر الأربعين إلى الصبا

I yearned, but is it shameful for the free man if he yearns?

And tied to forty is youthfulness,

وليس بشيب ما ترون وإنما

كميت الصبا مما جرى عاد أشهبا

What you see is not gray hair, but rather,

My youth has died from what has happened, so it turned gray.
