1. From Europe appeared high of minaret
With a face shining with the sun of daytime

2. So Egypt wore the garment of humanity when
He appeared in it crowned with pottery

3. And for his graceful court a position
When he reached it, all glory returned

4. And by the season of destiny he dispelled from it
Whatever doubts and flaws had affected it

5. And protected it with determination and celebration
From the evil of mismanagement and deception

6. And guided it from misguidance with an opinion
None can equal in correctness and eminence

7. And by the lights of his justice the darkness
Of tyranny, error, and discord departed from it

8. So he prides himself on an arrival in which
He attained the height of glory, brilliance, and dignity

9. And the auspicious one said, record the date
He came with good fortune, the one with the sword
