1. With a smile you were welcomed, oh you of high ambition and benevolence
For Egypt, her spirit has returned upon your arrival

2. And she was comforted by you, oh Sa'eed al-Dawla
She rejoiced when you came giving victory

3. and favor, you of high stature
The days have cleared for it with your return spreading

4. The flag of pride crowned with awe
You remain thanked for your successful efforts

5. Throughout the long stretch, residing and traveling
Boasting among kings with intellect

6. For Muhammad Tusun, lofty of resolve
Never has Istanbul shone from a visit

7. That came with sincerity and goodness of intent
Or greeted you with whatever you wish of praise

8. And gratitude tongues after obedience
Nor has Majdi said upon return chronicling

9. For you oh Sa'eed in Egypt the most gracious return
