1. إِنَّ الخَضيبَ أَقَلُّ ما يُبلى بِهِ

    أَلّا يَزالُ مُسَوَّدَ الأَطرافِ

    Indeed, the least affliction of one who dyes himself

    Is that his extremities are forever blackened.

  2. فَدَعِ الخِضابَ فَلَيسَ قيمَةُ لَونِهِ

    أَن يُترَكَ العَطّارُ كَالإِسكافي

    So abandon dye: its color is not worth

    Leaving the perfumer like a cobbler.
