جَزى اللهُ خَيراً والجزاءُ بكفِّهِ
بني دارمٍ عن كُلِّ جانٍ وغارِمِ
May God reward with goodness—all recompense is in His hand—
the sons of Dārim, for every offender and debtor.
هُمُ حملوا رَحلي وأدوا أمانتي
إِليَّ وردوا فيَّ رِيشَ القوادِمِ
They bore my baggage and delivered what I had entrusted
back to me, and restored to me the feathers of my foremost pinions.
ولا عَيب فيهم غَير أّنَّ قدورَهم
على المثل امثالَ السنينِ الحواطمِ
There is no fault in them, save that their cauldrons,
as the proverb has it, are like the crushing years.
وإنَّ مواريثَ الأُلى يرثونَهُم
كنوزَ المعالي لا كنوزَ الدراهمِ
Indeed, the legacies of those whose heirs they are
are treasures of glory, not treasures of dirhams.
وما ضرَّ منسوباً أبوهُ وأمُّهُ
الى دارِمٍ أن لا يكونَ لهاشِمِ
What harm is there for one whose father and mother are traced
to Dārim, if he does not belong to Hāshim?
Sol 5.6
