بِالمال يَزدان أَهل الجَهل عَن حمق

With wealth, the ignorant are adorned out of folly,
With money the ignorant are adorned from folly
Just as fat adorns four-legged beasts.
As fat adorns the quadrupeds

وَكُلُّ خَضراء زهو تنبت الدمنُ
For wealth is like rain in this world, and they are dung heaps,
So wealth in this life, and they are the fat ones
And dung heaps bring forth every green flourish of vanity.
And every greenery whose bloom grows the fat
