1. Egypt, mother of the world as they called her
There is no place like her in security

2. What country is like Egypt in purity
Living and prosperity are guaranteed

3. All who live there live in lasting bliss
And solid happiness

4. All who live there have a pure soul
Protected by the fortresses of freedom and safety

5. Enjoys whatever he wants in a peaceful atmosphere
And a shaded, leafy shade

6. It is the square of prosperity, the image of
Good tidings, and the joy of reassurance

7. And the respite of the tired, the frustrated
The anxious, the fearful and the longing

8. It is not new in achieving
This great and noble merit

9. Since ancient times it has excelled
And took the lead among the homes of hospitality

10. Remember Abraham when he came to it
Seeking refuge from his kin in Canaan

11. It gave him sanctuary, then honored him
With generosity worthy of the most noble guest

12. His offspring followed him then Moses
As their stay in Egypt was pleasant

13. And they found from the inhabitants of Egypt intimacy
Dispelling their estrangement

14. Then they returned from it, and remained
Eager and longing for it
