I find the span of my life long,
I see myself stretch the course of my life
Yet no streak of gray marks the parting of my hair.
And yet no parting for gray hair exists
ولوand if أسْقَطْتُI subtracted منهfrom it زَمانِthe time of همِّيmy worry
ولو أسْقَطْتُ منه زَمانِ همِّي

لقال الناسُ هذا الشَّخصُ سقْطُ
And if I subtracted from it the time spent in worry,
Even if I deducted the time of my worries
People would say, “This person is a miscarried fetus.”
People would say this person has fallen
