1. Reveal to me the unseen and adorn me with witnesses
So that the fragrances of your covenant may return

2. How can blame disappear from Suhaymi
When sorrows settle in the heart and anguish

3. Is an arrow unknown when it passes
To leave its marks quiescent?

4. You are the weapon of every obstinate hero
Who rages and fells the staunch champion

5. Every weakling shies from the hated
And his zeal prevents him from swerving

6. The frequenter of war outstrips fate
When the fearless squadron strides resolute

7. The fray is too narrow for him, striking and stabbing
And he hugs the horsemen seeking more

8. A scion of the rash and a leader of the valiant
His rein snatches relentless death

9. Repel the downpours with fire or clouds
And protect the folk when they refuse to alight

10. When their souls thirst, let us water them
And the structures and tents too

11. The springs disavow all but the drawers
Unless they have drunk the pure draft high

12. Take our souls when each soul
Thinks cowardice will grant it eternity

13. We sacrifice them when the peoples vie
With Egypt's bounty and munificence

14. And rise up for the struggle when they
Sit languidly in their large tents

15. They pretended to protect her in a gown
Whose whiteness shows black events

16. And handed her over veiled, so they handed over
All sorts of chains and shackles

17. Bearing protection, they carried
Death and perdition

18. We stripped the veils and screens from her
And tore away the tents and curtains

19. Therein are the talons of beasts
And fangs of howlers who worsted the lions

20. We disobeyed Egypt if the highlands rebelled
But did not disobey concord and generosity

21. We are not the elite of the flags therein
If we do not forbid the sublime flag

22. Destroy treachery and overcome spite
And increase our highest ascent

23. We forbid the usurpers when they tyrannize
And refuse to be their slaves

24. We ransom Egypt with our lives poured out
When they marshaled the regiments and armies

25. We preserved the sanctity of her children
And honored fatherhood and ancestry

26. Who can harm you, O land of the Nile
And refuse your people mastery?

27. Leave the cowards, fear not
For your independence the stubborn foe

28. If you resent their treachery towards you
And disavow their frowning and estrangement

29. To your lofty pillars, if your pillar thought
To lean

30. Grant us the nobility of life, for we
Granted you gifts and exertions

31. We single you out with pure loyalty
And give priority with love to the affectionate people

32. Whoever demands a pact from the peoples
God has already taken pacts
