1. The wish we attained was a wish for ourselves
You'll find all of Egypt gathered here

2. It's no wonder the full moon resides on high
Nor is it odd that the horizon is seen as home

3. But the free heart is filled with rapture
And so it praises the benevolence and beauty of the radiance

4. When the shining moon takes its place
And rules the horizons of the sky and settles in

5. When the beloved king is decreed a master
And of his wisdom in nobility and merit we proclaim

6. It's from the trust of one who loves and shelters
And the faith of a heart that's a true believer

7. Greetings, Nile king, you are its spring
You are its song, and within you lies the melody

8. So it is spring's honoring of the garden
Made glorious by your forefathers, abundant in harvest

9. Yes, a garden made great for every noble soul
And a home for merit, etiquette, and knowledge

10. A field where two race for glory and honor
While other arenas are filled with reed plants

11. When a master of high manners departs
Another hastens to the banner, never wavering

12. Poetry's meters marched swiftly to you
And obeyed you wholeheartedly and submitted

13. You who unbound all the shackles
Refusing to let poetry be disgraced and imprisoned

14. When the pure ore called to poetry once
We offered it the finest poetry as its ore

15. Dusuqi, though you belittled I accept your greeting
For I am neither their poet nor their best

16. Rather, I'm the voice of all the lovers
And from your dear garden and their grove I picked

17. A moth circling the lamp of your glory
And what moth ever drew near your grandeur?

18. I'm but the echo of the whispers in their hearts
So let me proclaim what they conceal inside
