1. I thanked you in their skulls, O martyrs,
And I sang your praises, O living ones.

2. If there were tongues in those skulls
That have not worn out, they would greet and pray,

3. Or if praises grew from the dust for you,
Growth of beauty and eulogy would spring for you from it.

4. You held back the tears of the orphans,
And the bereaved women when they were transferred among the villages,

5. And each sorrowful woman says in her grief,
“The tyrants are gone, and the merciful have come to us.”

6. So who is the bearer of good news to the bones in the soil
That were buried and worn by decay and rubble,

7. That fate has brought their time near,
That life or death is destiny?

8. What is past of misery and its evil,
You have revived the defects of its time,

9. Souls fell in the path of the Inviolable,
You who are strangers, entered upon them.

10. Defense was humiliation and cowardice,
If only the council that day were women!

11. How soon the defense concluded the argument, but
How soon it killed the innocent with it!

12. You left the leaders in the prisons in the evening,
If only it were a bed for the oppressors!

13. Their skulls went cheaply in the path of raising them.
They passed away wronged and bloody.

14. They went too far in their rule and were unjust,
The Brigadier did that and they wanted it.

15. They made the gallabiyas blue of those they love,
In the graves they are innocent of him.

16. His care for them and affection did
What some haters would not do.

17. Are gallows mercy and affection?
And are whips friendship and loyalty?

18. You have uncovered relief for the country and its people.
The hearts line up devotedly for your sitting.

19. Mercy is your way in the world,
And clemency the trait of your Bountiful Lord.

20. When your Saud appeared, those shackles were torn
And the prisoners were released.

21. My Lord of Egypt, it was beautified and adorned
For your sitting, as if it were Al Jawza.

22. Electricity from the hearts went
To its regions, so it lit the horizons.

23. And when the hearts lined up in gentle devotion,
It healed and enlightened them with passion and loyalty.

24. In every temple there is a procession and departure
For victory and the manifest conquest's banner.

25. Your noble life has been greeted by youth
From the generous Zahra's plantation.

26. It is the seat of hopes. When it goes
To the beloved king and nation, it is hope.

27. I know your rights to the throne in the world
Are a fortress for Egypt, protection, and shielding.

28. And that your endeavor was the endeavor of a fighter
Whose supporters and aides betrayed him.

29. They wanted the position for the stranger,
But the noble soul refuses the stranger.

30. And you have subjects in the kingdoms, good people
Flooded with your favors from your house.

31. The deeds of the colonels divided us.
Evil are the deeds and villainous the leaders!

32. From each lost in confusion, wavering
In his cloak, talebearing and hypocrisy.

33. If any of them remain in the country,
Upon those remaining, curse and affliction!

34. O state of the free, you have not flattered us
Except with manliness and generosity in you.

35. Looking for peace, good is hoped from you,
And the weak desire aid from you.

36. As you know, the souls are free.
The first ones lied saying the souls are slave girls.

37. If the people weary of a life of humiliation,
Men and things become cheap to it.

38. If you could empower life and restore it,
We would say to you, restoration and revival.

39. So ask forgiveness of God the Almighty, for only
Great ones ask forgiveness for their sins.

40. Shameful atrocities that they committed,
This virtuous hand has washed them away.
