1. Oh Samnoud, how beautiful you are with your smile
Like a tulip flower blooming among the branches

2. You were once Karnak Temple and home of what
Newton began history from the pillars

3. The Persian armies conquered you like an opener
And the legions of Rome with banners upon banners

4. Until you ended up with the Exalted Lord who pitched
Tents on you with ropes and pegs

5. When they brought you from luxury to comfort
And the goodness of your land for harvest

6. I reside in Egypt and the Nile flows, I reckon
It flows to meet you, yearning for the promise
