1. Over the highest sorrows the flags flutter
Or is Egypt's glory founded on blood?

2. Say to the grieving youths: Restrain yourselves
Worries have passed and pains are gone

3. Only truth remains witnessing its feast
A smiling homeland for you all

4. It inspired your martyrs, so march forward
Life's pillar is daring

5. How can one who loves his country settle
While the people stumble and the homeland constricts

6. We know when our rights are usurped
That life becomes prohibited to the souls

7. Whoever asked us for peace, we have none
Without Egypt and Egypt's right, no peace

8. We protect the sanctuary of its independence and guard it
Until nations submit to its glory

9. And we deny, though the enemies disapprove
No blame to men for loyalty

10. Don't deny, O Egypt, the merit of our affliction
We are truthful and honorable people

11. For you whatever sacrifice you wanted, here are
Our souls if only the bodies suffice

12. Was there a day you called: "Is there a supporter?"
Except gushing blood and piercing blades

13. The youth arose organized in columns
Marching, no discord or hesitation

14. They advance daring and proud
While fire pours and bullets pour

15. Why hesitation at the scene, that day
Azrael throws and El-Manoun arrows

16. O martyrs' places of death, where is their blood
Did it quench or satisfy anyone

17. Did justice put out the anguish, did right
Take its place and order settle

18. Your memory remains resonating, but is there
Any people, and from your poets, days
