شَغَفَتني عَلى كِبَر

شَغَفَتني عَلى كِبَر

ضَرَّةُ الشَمسِ وَالقَمَر

ضَرَّةُ الشَمسِ وَالقَمَر

She captivated me in my old age—

The sun and moon's heat enchanted me in old age,

the rival of the sun and moon.

Then she said to her Lord,

ثُمَّ قالَت لِتَربِها

ثُمَّ قالَت لِتَربِها

في الكِبَرِ تَظهَرُ العِبَرَ

في الكِبَرِ تَظهَرُ العِبَرَ

Then she said to her age-mate:

In old age lessons become clear.

“In old age, lessons come to light.”
