1. With victory, your year, O Sa'id the harbinger
And for Egypt, progress from you it portends

2. For you have built for her with your resolve on high
A fortress impregnable, her foe in retreat

3. And you have guarded her with valor and your armies
Around her, above the steeds they seethe

4. And for her you have raised the pillars of justice
Which for the people is always unfurled

5. So unfurl through her the banners of your state
Which no grave king but you has gained

6. And bestow upon her the length of time’s duties
With your blessings’ waters, O mighty peer

7. Thus spoke Majdi hastening to record
With victory, your year, O Sa’id the harbinger
