1. The Nile and the noble king Sa'id,
Both are auspicious in Egypt.

2. Both have longevity therein,
With bounty, the welfare of people increases.

3. The Nile in its seasons wherein,
It irrigates the land from its drops and plains,

4. And circles around its thickets with a
Red sign that it spreads therein and repeats.

5. As if this river has a bond,
Covenants and pacts have been taken from it.

6. It visits the land arduously and from it recoils,
By the will of the Merciful, He is praiseworthy.

7. With its tranquility it succeeds and takes precaution,
On the day of farewell with what it desired and wanted.

8. And when it recedes from the land, it appears in an
Attire green, its view unique and singular.

9. The plains and mountains became adorned,
With abundant fertility that has no increase.

10. The lasting by his might and firmness,
Repels from it all misfortunes.

11. His right hand hurls the fires of lightning bolts,
With it in wars the fortresses weaken.

12. To its west are five seas,
Flowing endlessly with no limits.

13. With his justice promulgated in his nations,
There remains no existence for vile injustice.

14. Where in his rulings, ever,
Are the near and far equal?

15. The sublime state from it he laid its foundations,
With enlightened opinion in matters most proper.

16. So may God grant him and his heir,
A long life with shade in Egypt enduring.

17. As long as the Nile comes visiting,
Every year once and returns.

18. Or I said the day of necessitation in its history,
Necessitated for us the happiness of Sa'id, auspicious.
