1. أَتَرجو أَن تَكونَ وَأَنتَ شَيخ

    كَما قَد كُنتَ أَيّامُ الشَباب

    Do you hope to be, now that you are an old man,

    as you once were in the days of youth?

  2. لَقَد كَذَّبتَكَ نَفسَكَ لَيسَ ثَوب

    دَريسُ كَالجَديدِ مِنَ الثِياب

    Indeed, your own self has deceived you: no garment

    worn threadbare is like a new garment.
