1. The Nile has watered the land of Sa'id
Under the auspicious skies of happy Egypt

2. And rain from this minister's comfort
Flooded the villages with a delta and plateau

3. It clothed the land with a garment of fertility
Green with sound, right opinion

4. With its auspice, it carried the clouds a message
To the Nile about its limited appointment

5. So it came hurriedly to water its land
And inundate it with its abundant flooding

6. And it mourned its ardent longing for it and described it
With thickets after the harvest was over

7. It blushed on arriving to it
And revived its dead with roses

8. And its tearful sorrow turned green
And the plain yielded its expected righteousness

9. And it became, by the administration of the Almighty, fortified
Surrounded by armies and soldiers

10. So may God protect the homelands for
Generations with awe and prosperity

11. To provide them advancement
And progress amongst the people anew

12. And repel their enemy with cannons
Whose fires thunder in war

13. And may He shade us forever with the canopy of His shade
Triumphant over every envier

14. And may He win fair praise and commendation
From every servant competent in glorious praise

15. The Nile in Egypt's cradle did not say, chronicling,
The Nile has watered the land of Sa'id
