قضى حسنهُ فليبكهِ اليوم عاشقُه

وعاد هشيماً آسهُ وشقائقُه
His beauty has perished; let his lover mourn it today.
His beauty passed, so today his lover weeps,
And his myrtle and anemones have turned to dry stubble.
And his lily and oxeye turned to rubble.

أَلم ترَ قد لاحت عليهِ علائقُه
The water of his youth has grown murky in his cheeks.
The water of youth in his cheeks grew bitter.
Do you not see that its leeches have appeared upon it?
Can't you see the signs of old age upon him?
