1. Egypt, the mother of the world as they dubbed her
In fertility, no place compares to her

2. What valley under the sky like her valley
With abundant, plentiful, bountiful harvest

3. Her soil richer than gems and pearls
Her pebbles purer than coral

4. She was and remains the treasure trove of bounty
As she has been since the early days

5. Her free gifts exceed all count
Immeasurably generous is she

6. In summer we see her cotton
White blossoms above green stems

7. Like an emerald carpet strewn with red rosebuds
Such are the secrets of her riches

8. No cause for concealment there
