1. يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُحْتَسِبُ الْجَزْلُ

    وَمَنْ لَدَيْهِ الْجِدُّ وَالْهَزْلُ

    O noble market inspector,

    And you who possess both seriousness and jest,

  2. يَهْنِيكَ وَالشُّكْرُ لِمَوْلَى الْوَرَى

    وِلاَيَةٌ لَيْسَ لَهَا عَزْلُ

    May you enjoy—with thanks to the Lord of creation—

    An office from which there is no dismissal.
