1. Yes, this is the day for whoever wishes to redeem Egypt
For Egypt is the great shrine and paradise

2. We have sworn to turn our faces towards loving her
And spend patience, effort and life for her sake

3. To instill in her the spirit of vigorous life
And destroy in her misery, humiliation and poverty

4. To shatter chains and remove barriers
And create in her free thought and work

5. Yes, the water of the Nile has changed in taste
Snatched by the killer who left no inch

6. So the world turned away from it and doves cooed
Welcoming goodness and good news

7. And predatory hawks hovered over the sad horizon
When they win they have no mercy for beauty or flowers

8. They swoop down like an eagle from its nest
And devour the vines, brambles and burrows

9. Why then did you not stand up to defend it
And extend to it hands that rain goodness like the rain of al-Muzun

10. Greetings O youth of the Nile in every stand
Reaping glory or bringing pride from fate

11. Come let us build a refuge, Lord of refuge
That shelters the wreckage of misery and pale faces

12. Come let us build a workshop, Lord of workshop
That pours abundant profit on our makers

13. Come let us erase the ignorance and plagues that
Surrounded us like a flood to submerge us completely

14. Come for the time has come for mighty things
And none of us should be heedless or deaf to the era

15. Come let us carry the heavy, welcome the difficult
For we are youth accustomed to hardship and rough goals

16. Youth, if eyes sleep then we
Wake at the crowing of birds to meet the dawn

17. Youth, we all descended resolute for glory
And whoever aspires for victory will grasp victory
