1. Our beloved Viceroy of Egypt
May God make his rule everlasting
١. عَزيزُ القُطرِ مَولانا الخِديوي
أَدامَ اللَهُ دَولَتَهُ العَلِيَّه
2. He saw the noble youth with discerning eyes
And recognized his pure, brilliant perception
٢. رَأى الشَهمَ الوَجيهِ بِعَينِ حَزمِ
وَقَدِّر قَدرَ فِطنَتِهِ الزَكِيَّه
3. And granted him, what a fine gift,
The exalted second-class rank
٣. وَأَهداهُ وَيا نِعمَ الهَدايا
بِثاني رُتبَةٍ مِنهُ بَهِيَّه
4. Which befits his glory before him
And matches his lineage, the noble roots
٤. فَناسَبَ مَجدَها مَجداً لَدَيهِ
وَجانِس قَدرَها أَصلَ السَجِيَّه
5. And truly, we shall never lower it, perfection
For Abdul Qadir, the highest ranks
٥. وَحَقَّ لَن نورَخها كمالاً
لِعَبدِ القادِرِ الرُتَبِ السَنِيَّه
