1. Witness, O Egypt, the deeds of the sons,
And behold the signs from time to time.

2. The events have uncovered what was hidden,
And removed doubt from the face of certainty.

3. That is true grit, so taste its bitterness,
And take it from the hands of the frivolous.

4. Drink the cup violently and listen
To the sermon of the drunk between the drinkers.

5. You have betrayed righteousness when you did not recognize
The place of the traitor and the righteous trustee.

6. You make the matter chaotic, with no
Clear system for the discerning.

7. And you see people all as one,
Among the eminent and the fallen, dormant.

8. You wrongly reward the deviants
Who corrupted the matter, the reward of reformers.

9. And you appoint men who broke
Your most loyal covenant, in the place of the loyal.

10. Oh Egypt, if only you knew
The events of fate in the past years!

11. Oh Egypt, remember them and look -
What people is your suffering, melancholy people?

12. And entrust the matter to God, for you
Have none but Him in the world as a helper.

13. The weapon of nations in their firmness
And the salvation of the weak people.

14. It dispels the horrors from its distressed,
When the defense of supporters is not hoped for.

15. And it returns the dead from its hopes -
Rising in appearance and bright of forehead.

16. The King of the Kingdom - His judgments have passed
And His destinies flowed in the worlds.

17. No soul has power in His kingdom -
Majestic is He of great power and firm prowess.

18. Agitation leaves His fleet
With the fleets of mighty kings.

19. And if His soldiers intend one day
Then woe to the conquering soldiers!

20. Ask the dust - how many states
Whose traces disappeared into the past?

21. It carried them for eras, then folded
In the ages of the earliest departed.

22. It subsided in a side from its belly
That accommodates all of us alive.

23. Ask about the crowns - do you see
In them anything of the thrones of kings?

24. And consider - do they have in its interior
Soldiers, fortresses, or ships?

25. Turn over the soil - how much in the soil
Of fallen state and buried kingdom!

26. The passage of generations - if you circle it
Then tarry and settle among the circlers.

27. And make the lantern in its darkness
A lesson of death for discerning people.

28. The life of this world is fleeting
And a beneficial tale for those who remember.

29. The truth has become clear to an ignorant people.
So look, O Egypt, what you would command!

30. You are, for God, an erect building
That the hands of demolishers twist away from.

31. Endure events, no matter how they scheme,
And trust in God, the Best of schemers.

32. Do not heed - indeed, of His signs
Is what Heeds you, of world and religion.

33. Seek from Him what you wish and watch
His wisdom in your captive, wretched people.

34. Are not events doing us justice?
So exalted is God, the Best of judges.

35. Woe to my soul and woe to Egypt whenever
It recalls its perished sons!

36. The day terror raged within it
And it sought refuge in the roused youth -

37. With souls whose multitudes rushed,
Sacrificing themselves in thousands and hundreds -

38. To redeem Egypt and fulfill its right
And show it the resolve of the resolute;

39. They magnified whatever you wished
Of its sanctity, and passed as the immortal.

40. How can we forget them and the long span?
How can we forget the honest trustees?

41. We have accepted treason as religion after them,
So upon God is the recompense of traitors.

42. The weepers stopped weeping for them
So their believing mothers wept for them.

43. Oh my people - may it console the bereaved mothers
When their sons passed with prolonged moaning.

44. Oh my people - for the orphans after them,
The widows, and the submissive elders.

45. Mercy for the child made miserable by sorrow,
For the loving father and imprisoned uncle.

46. It has dried until its mother does not see what
Dried upon it - the hands of benefactors.

47. It seeks livelihood and she weeps, and for her
Is an evil neighbor among profligate men.

48. It bears hardship and its grandfather suffers,
While he sighs in comfort among the delicate.

49. The most melodious tunes in its hearing
Are the ringing of complaints and moans' echoes.

50. Possessed by the world, yet no world for it
Except what meager living it attained.

51. People see it only greedy,
Baring fangs like a wretched wolf.

52. Good has fallen and its pattern is corrupted
By a time inclined towards evil's companion.

53. It taught people what they were taught
Of despicable traits that disgusted the noble.

54. The people do not want of its morals
Except the morals of the honorable commanders.

55. Oh, Nile's guardians - enough for me;
Does the Nile remain for the colonizers?

56. Oh, Nile's guardians - preserve its possession
And I see the Nile for other people.

57. Give glad tidings, O people, I see
In the Nile's destiny the sight of warners.

58. No - and who cast his matter to us
We did not leave it in the hands of deserters.

59. We are the party of God - we protected His right
And preserved His covenant among violators.

60. We pledged allegiance to Him since we were
Upon supporting the truth, and we were acting.

61. Whether we get angry or become content, it is for Him;
We do not care about the nonsense of alarmists.

62. We carry the pens as armor, and ours
Are the scriptures of the righteous among writers.

63. Not the villains like the misguided chiefs,
Nor the free like the enslaved.

64. We did not accept the plan of the misguided, nor
Did we fault the state of the submissive weak.

65. Oh my people - struggle, do not despair,
And Allah will come with clear victory.

66. Support Egypt if it becomes terrified
And apprehensive of the brave youths.

67. Protect it - for if Egypt falls,
The heritage of Muslims is lost in the world.

68. Oh my people - struggle, do not weaken,
And Allah will come with clear victory.

69. Support Egypt if it becomes terrified
And apprehensive of the brave youths.

70. Protect it, for if Egypt falls,
The heritage of the Muslims is lost in the world!
