1. بِالمال يَزدان أَهل الجَهل عَن حمق

    كَما يزين ذَوات الأَربَع السمنُ

    With wealth, the ignorant are adorned out of folly,

    Just as fat adorns four-legged beasts.

  2. فَالمال كَالغَيث في الدُنيا وَهُم دِمَنٌ

    وَكُلُّ خَضراء زهو تنبت الدمنُ

    For wealth is like rain in this world, and they are dung heaps,

    And dung heaps bring forth every green flourish of vanity.
