1. The lion does not dwell on injustice
The cub pulled out the peg from the forest

2. The cub grew up and his fangs sharpened
And his shoulders were covered with fur

3. Leave him to roam in his dens
And stop him from protecting the forest

4. Show him the world through his claws
And send him to wander in its plains

5. Young men of the valley, we know your voice
Welcome O melody singing bird

6. It is the voice of truth, it did not transgress or
Bore malice, nor hid envy

7. And it is free from any desire that corrupts
A righteous deed except that it fails

8. The nightingale stirred the branches of a willow
Where an owl in solitude perched

9. The lily of cities and the basil of villages
Stood at every road and settled

10. Early like bees in their swarms
Each swarm gathered and came together

11. It reaped little of the flowers’ nectar
Then gave instead honey

12. It reached out to whoever it met
Walking with short and long strides

13. Making countries into its songs
And calling people, those who give and find

14. Knocking on every door it passes
Or heads towards any house on the road

15. Walking in cities or towards villages
Going asking for coins for the country

16. O people, listen and pay attention to it
Bring out money for this goodness that counts

17. Do not send back its hands empty
The seeker of help for a country that matters

18. People will see wonders tomorrow
The coin will plant, build, and give birth

19. God will make industries rise through it
From ruin that lingered forever

20. Or increase goodness by a house that settled
Due to the struggle of poverty or the fight of distress

21. And it is within hands and in its ability
No one was too narrow or incapable for it

22. That is tomorrow's Egypt building its reign
It called the builder and came with supplies

23. And it built its rule on money
With strong foundations and raised pillars

24. And it made the bank of Egypt its cave
The cornerstone blessed and supremely supported it

25. An example of ambition that reached far
With its horizons far in the heights

26. The age returned it to its ways
Every age has its renewed methods

27. The young roused their fathers
And the cub called the lion from the valley

28. Egypt became and its glory dawned
The ambition of the father or the occupation of the son

29. This ambition yesterday flowed
Seeking truth with great determination

30. O generation we hope for tomorrow
Your glory tomorrow and prosperity today

31. You are on the staircase of a flood, and indeed
Lost is one who sleeps on the staircase of a flood

32. Lead in truth, so lead in its like
From the ways of moderation or paths of righteousness

33. Many a year you will find
And store in it for a year you will not find

34. Teach the fathers and proclaim saying
O people, cooperate and be economical

35. Gather coin to coin, it will become
For you from their gathering a plentiful money

36. Seek cotton and do other
And make a market if a market is impeded

37. We before cotton were a nation
Descending valleys, grazing and returning

38. We took the lead in industries
And built in ancient times what lasted

39. And we spun before Idris the linen
And wove before David the armor

40. If you are today a leading banner
How many banners for you in the past rallied
