1. We welcome the guest and honor him
If we do not honor him, who will?

2. O guest of Egypt, stay awhile
Among the family, and dwell in the homeland

3. We have shared faith
And met during tribulations

4. From Syria to Iraq, to Hejaz, to Yemen
A great cry like a tidal wave echoes in the ear

5. Voices differ in it, heedless of cost
We want life, and what is life but following time?

6. Fate is fickle, how
Can we scoop water from a mirage?

7. The age is the age of the foremost
To the lofty peaks and tribulations

8. No age of the infatuated with
Dreams, drowned in idolatry

9. And shackled to the earth
Between cowardice and weakness

10. O East that is called to calm down and be reassured
We are coming to you and to the youth with a message that does not compromise

11. We stood up for it, each one
A harbinger of the trusted Messenger

12. Among our vanguards are neither the weak nor the submissive coward
Nor is spitefulness or resentment among our natures

13. We are soldiers of light, of
Knowledge, manners and art

14. Killers of ignorance like
An owl nesting amid rubble

15. We are the enemies of stagnation
And are putting it in its shroud

16. O dear noble guest
Blessed are you with good living

17. O companion of the Egyptian in
Aleppo, we do not forget favors

18. Syria's bosom is affectionate to you and if Egypt knew, she would yearn
Her farms, youths, gardens and singing birds

19. Her cedars, great calm mountains
And your Nile is our river, and what

20. Remains of the vineyards and arts
And the people are family, the villages

21. A homeland, affectionate cities
