1. Extend your arms and raise your sights
Why should we not live free and dignified?

2. Who condemned us to stillness, and decreed
That we should remain shackled prisoners?

3. He who created souls to be free
Liberated nations and freed lands

4. Today, every people seeks its right
Neither timid, nor obsequious, nor submissive

5. Hope and yearning are pinned on you
And souls, as you know, are perplexed

6. You pledged loyalty to Egypt
When she saw her noble children

7. And you carried the hopes of the country and its people
So you carried great pride and glory

8. Seek for us the honor of life, for we
Cannot endure humiliation and submission
