1. أَنكَرَت هِندٌ مَشيبي وَوَلَّت

    بِدُموعٍ في الرِداءِ تَحومُ

    Hind disapproved of my gray hair and turned away,

    With tears swirling within her cloak.

  2. فَاِعذُري يا هِندُ شَيبي بِهَمّي

    إِنَّ شَيبَ الرَأسِ نورُ الهُمومُ

    So pardon my gray hair, O Hind, because of my grief;

    Indeed, the head’s gray hair is the blossom of sorrows.
