1. مولايَ أرجعني لبيت المال في

    قوتي ومن مال الجهات بسي

    My lord, return me to the treasury for

    my sustenance—and I have had enough of the departments’ funds.

  2. ما دامَ معلومِي بدار ضربها

    فبعد دار الضَّرب دار الحبس

    As long as my stipend remains at their mint,

    then after the house of striking comes the house of imprisonment.
