جزى الله خيراً والجزاء بكفه

جزى الله خيراً والجزاء بكفه

بني دارم عن كل جان وغارم

بني دارم عن كل جان وغارم

May God grant a good reward—and recompense is in His hand—

May God reward them well, and the reward is in His hands

to the sons of Darim, on behalf of every offender and debtor.

My people of Darim, from every side and every creditor

هم حملوا رحلي وأدوا أمانتي

هم حملوا رحلي وأدوا أمانتي

إلي وردوا في ريش القوادم

إلي وردوا في ريش القوادم

They carried my baggage and returned my entrusted property

They carried my belongings and fulfilled my trust

to me, and restored my primary flight feathers.

And returned to me on the feathers of the carriers

ولا عيب فيهم غير أن أكفهم

ولا عيب فيهم غير أن أكفهم

لأموالهم مثل السنين الحواطم

لأموالهم مثل السنين الحواطم

And they have no fault, except that their hands

There is no flaw in them except that their palms

are to their wealth like devastating years of famine.

For their money are like the sweeping years

وإنهم لا يورثون بنيهم

وإنهم لا يورثون بنيهم

وإن ورثوا خيراً كنوز الدراهم

وإن ورثوا خيراً كنوز الدراهم

And they do not bequeath to their sons—

And they do not bequeath to their children

though they bequeath goodness—hoards of dirhams.

And if they inherit good, treasures of dirhams

وما ضر منسوباً أبوه وأمه

وما ضر منسوباً أبوه وأمه

الى دارم ألا يكون لهاشم

الى دارم ألا يكون لهاشم

Nor does it harm a man whose father and mother trace their lineage

And it does not harm one whose father and mother

to Darim that he does not belong to Hashim.

Are ascribed to Darim, not to be of Hashim
