لا تُنْكِرَنَّ الشَّيَب أتْتَ جَنَيتَهُ

بِقَطِيعَةٍ وخيانةٍ وعِتَابِ

Do not deny the gray hair that came

With estrangement, betrayal and reproach

لَوْ لَمْ تَرُعْني بالصُّدودِ وتارةً

بالبَيْنِ طَالَ تَمَتُّعي بِشَبابي

Had you not repelled me at times

And at times with separation, I would have enjoyed more of my youth
