1. The year began with good tidings for the virtuous imam
His merits are countless for every imam

2. Its horoscope in it is fortunate and its Egypt
Is inclined towards him and attains its purpose

3. And its children's gratitude has not ceased to increase
For his benevolence whether traveling or residing

4. And the one taking refuge in it, its supremacy allows him what he wants
And what he desired of security and keeping the pact

5. And its glorious state in it was established
On justice and adorned with excellent system

6. And he supported it with resolve and enthusiasm
And total determination in the sublime attitudes

7. And severe valor in struggle and assault
Against every stubborn and hostile tyrant

8. And an allied army, steadfast and tested
If it deploys it destroys every protector

9. White and brown like fate and cannons
That annihilate enemies from afar when taking aim

10. And downpour of bounty from a generous sky
Upon the lands where desert gazelles roam

11. So it never ceased throughout its lands for its entire time
To defend the righteous religion and kingdom

12. And may it last for us along with its cub
As long as years succeeded and cycles reached completeness

13. And what Majdi the chronicler said this year
Of the Khedive's victory, is it not a blessed year?
