1. It expresses the sincerity of pure hearts
In the most eloquent expression of the tongue of consciences

2. And it spreads what it folds of praise
Like a devoted slave to his grateful master

3. A devoted slave passionately praising
His homeland, the king, and religion as protector

4. As for the good deeds not limited if counted
In the records confined in the notebooks

5. And good hearing from which benefits returned
To Egypt in an age of wonderful sights

6. And justice by which sheep safely graze
Without fear of the horror of oppressors

7. And knowledge by which ignorance has no power
Over a newcomer from every land and resident

8. And wisdom by which the prestige of the state grew
Through a king of penetrating intellect and empowering traits

9. And resolve by which recalcitrant souls submitted
And hard rocks melted away

10. And sound opinion beyond which pathfinders
Cannot surpass in every matter

11. And reputation by which travelers in every expanse
Proceed as they wish on every route

12. And pardon for the guilty if he has not committed
What requires execution by force

13. And forbearance by which he surpassed
Those who came before and were honored ancestors

14. And generosity by which the pillar of chivalry rose
To the summit of lasting glory and prominent origin

15. And blessing by which outside its time
Water flows from the Nile like clay for viewers

16. And continuously runs through the gulf of the city
In which the king resides victorious over opponents

17. Bringing life to souls and irrigating
Every valley with flourishing gardens

18. If a Muslim happily lived two noble years
Saw his master among the soldiers

19. Then we have in every day a joy
In seeing Ismail the gatherer of glories

20. He is the lofty king with every virtue
Adorning his neck with jewels

21. He is the rain and lion whose right hand
Has strength and warning for every aggressor and betrayer

22. He is the son of one who was feared in battle
Like a blazing fire swiftly attacking enemies

23. He is righteous with a merciful heart for the nation
Whose thoughts have all described him

24. He is the commander and prohibiter with gentleness and compassion
And rules by scriptural decree in the mention

25. So he continues on holidays for the length of his time
To greet with a kiss of his hand every visitor

26. And honors with prestige the sons of the religion
In Egypt which borrowed its light of insight from him

27. And at all times with joy and pleasure
He receives the praise poems of poets in the presentation

28. And success never ceases for a moment
To accompany his state through the excellent king

29. And my glory remains recorded in the chronicles
Manifest in Ismail the holiday of glad tidings
