1. Bid farewell to a brother determined to leave Egypt, not out of cowardice, and plunge
Into the seas of glorious endeavor,
١. ودّعْ أخا العزمِ مِصراً لا لَميسَ وخُضْ
بالسَّابحاتِ بحارَ المَهْمَهِ البيدِ
2. And depart from the land, it brings you glory, for
The wait for ripe fruit from withered branches was long.
٢. وسِرْ عَنِ الأرضِ تَنْبو بالكرامِ فَقَد
طال انتظارُ الجَنَى مِن يابِس العودِ
