Role of the monarch
(Under construction)

Moun save our gracious Emir,
Long live our noble Emir,
Moun save the Emir!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
Moun save the Emir!

O lord Moun arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Confound their knavish tricks,
Confuse their politics,
On you our hopes we fix,
Moun save the Emir!
