ياO منyou who يُرَقِّعpatches بالآمالwith hopes ماwhat خَرَقَتtore
يا من يُرَقِّع بالآمال ما خَرَقَت

يدَا الليالي قبيح صبوةُ الشِّيبِ
O you who patch with hopes what was torn
O you who mends with hopes what the nights have torn
by the nights’ two hands—unseemly is the youthful passion of gray hair.
The ugly dawn of gray hair
