1. The abodes of love, your landmarks are alive
And your generosity brightens you, oh splendid Egypt

2. With it you returned in your youthful prime
And it revived you after Egypt grew old

3. And how many suitors you rejected for not matching you
Until the suitor with the sharp sword came to you

4. He protected it like a lion protects its den and guarded it
As an eyelid guards the eye from specks of dust

5. It was a turbulent sea, but it became
From his sweet generosity, a placid sea
