Number 23
When he saw my hair had turned white with age, he turned away and showed me no more devotion.
I said: if my hair has gone white so soon, at least be grateful, for my heart is as dark as it always was.

شمارهٔ ۲۳
چون دید که پیریم سپیدی بفزود
برگشت و ارادتی زیادت ننمود
گفتم که اگر سپید شد مویم زود
شکر است، که دل همان سیاه است که بود
