1. I was told what those who came together did
They reminisce places of reckoning

2. They call out to Egypt, and Egypt is the glory of fatherhood
Exalted and the honor of a tribe and companions

3. So I was pleased, then I knew what they did not do
Then I was angry, appeased without favor

4. They shook off the palms from the weak, they were assailed by
The madness of prohibitions and the unruliness of minds

5. They held back the reins of their countries by a covenant
The deviant recoiled from it on his heels

6. O supplies of the valley for the day of his hopes
And his preparations for the sudden misfortune

7. Quench the demands with calm, and know
That tranquility is the most successful of causes

8. If the hair of the Truth is whitened by falsehood
Its means have failed for the seekers

9. Verily, deliberation is protection for the brave
And wisdom is the impenetrable armor of the winner

10. And the matter, if darkness veils its faces
Then reason is the brightest star and flame

11. Who will dispute the rights and their people
And rebuke them with blame and reproach

12. And say to the compliant clapper his rejection
Do you die or live without a drink?

13. He refuses death when its flames overflow
And sees the fresh water boiling in the cups

14. Who will deter the inviters of life from it
And wants it for people as a whip of torment?

15. Who will contend with people in the sun of morning?
Who will veil its face with a mask?

16. Do not gloat, enemies, verily their eyes
Were set upon you in coming and going

17. Nothing you see is more dazzling
Than a calamity that befalls you and affliction

18. Block the way of evil, avoid harm
And take matters with wisdom and right

19. The reasonable one, if the governors enact
In a tradition of his reason and scripture

20. You are the guardians of truth in your homelands
And the truth splits the doubt of the skeptic

21. God is Greater! Do you have apart from it
A homeland lasting to the vanishing eras?

22. God in hope for beloved Egypt
The harbinger shouted it at the doors

23. Return the greeting calmly and treat
With gentleness every veil and barrier

24. And take good omens from the birds, and beware
The birds of ill omen, ever grumbling

25. Take refuge in the manners of life, and observe
The whims of a resentful folk, angry
