1. بَني جارِمٍ إِنَّ الصَغيرَ بِقَدرِهِ

    تَسوقُ إِلى الأَمرِ الكَبيرِ جَرائِمُه

    Sons of Jārim, indeed, a man of little standing—

    His crimes drive him toward a grave affair.

  2. فَأَغنوا سَفيهَ القَومِ لا يَغرُرَنَّكُم

    كَما غُرَّ مِن لَم تُغنِ عَنهُ تَمائِمُه

    So enrich the tribe’s fool; never let him deceive you,

    As one whose amulets did not avail him was deceived.

  3. بَني جارِمٍ ما مِن ثَلاثَةِ مَعشَرٍ

    بِأَلأَمَ مِنكُم حينَ عُدَّت مَلاوِمُه

    Sons of Jārim, among three clans there is none

    Baser than you when its faults are counted.
