1. O you who are unique in glory and nobility
And unparalleled in fortune and luxury

2. O you whose appointment brought joy
To Egypt’s treasury and whose equity stands out in the press

3. I do not expect you to fulfill what
Your Excellency promised in status and gifts

4. For you are a downpour and it is the downpour’s habit
To water copiously for a long time without promise or stint

5. The eye of justice has not been sleeping in you
Regarding me, although I was like a target for fates
