White hairs are vestiges of pain-
A sign of success and of fame.
But when you are and have done nothing good,
White hairs are a symbol of shame.

I would like to translate this poem
White hairs - you mean old age? Yes. If we haven't done anything real to the world, old age, nay, life itself can be a symbol of nothingness. Good idea being put in verses. Vestiges of pain - a sign of success and of fame. Both lines do not match together in my view. Pain, success and fame - all won't go together. Kindly check. Wish you best of luck with your pen in the years to come.
