1. يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُحْتَسِبُ الْجَزْلُ

    وَمَنْ لَدَيْهِ الْجِدُّ وَالْهَزْلُ

    O judicious inspector of public morals,

    And you who have both seriousness and jest,

  2. يَهْنِيكَ وَالشُّكْرُ لِمَوْلَى الْوَرَى

    وِلاَيَةٌ لَيْسَ لَهَا عَزْلُ

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

    An office from which there is no dismissal.
