1. A news that shook sorrows and found
In the remnants of souls bearing grief

2. Between doubt and certainty, it found
No inclination in it towards refutation

3. Not lost or it had perceived
Its impact in its intention, taking and giving

4. Neither the white antelope of the plain nor the terrain of the distance
From it in its shredding, more cutting

5. A state between my heart and its desire
Rebellious, gaining in what it faces glory

6. The matter came down, so have you prepared patience
And grief prevailed, so have you touched perseverance

7. What friend does my soul have like sorrow
That fulfills its promise and does not break its covenant

8. I said: When its dreams are kind
And here I have widened the echo of your love

9. O memory whenever the intent was active
With its comfort, it makes you forget loved ones and covenant

10. One of two matters, either you have betrayed me
Honoring me or sticking with me excessively

11. Or separation - and the drink of death is sweeter
To me than you - or more truthful affection

12. So the arrow was shot and it hit me while for it
Is the purpose of the archer, and mine is to resist

13. What arrow has the death torn with it
More anguished liver and which people are more hostile

14. The day they said Saad died, they shook
The firmest pillars and pegs

15. And the valley overflowed with weeping, and its affliction
A downpour of tears that disturbed the planets with its thunder

16. A shake in the east and west at dawn
That left no radiance for the sun at sunrise

17. The east lamented the sun's sorrow
Drawing for the horizons and stars a limit

18. I took a covenant with the star so it does not
Get clear if it does not find Saad in the horizon

19. Do you see it in its ascension has taken
A foothold on the rise - does it not fall

20. How it glitters between the folds of space
Like a planet while time remains lasting, not decaying

21. I read from the wisdom of the unseen, lines
And delved into the nature of creation, a servant

22. Saad did not die but a shake
That left the Nile valley green, deserted

23. Saad did not die but a blow
That turned away from the accusation of deliberate killing

24. Saad did not die but a leap
That paved in eternity a bed for the departed

25. Saad did not die but a redness
That touched the body of the Sphinx so it was lost

26. A redness that when it blackened the white statues
It burned from it the flames, its face and cheek

27. Alas, the death that hastened him
Oppressively, did not confront an oppressor

28. Saad's star, whenever they said it waned
In his grave, it filled the horizons and rekindled

29. Education revived a soul and a hand
That if it waned in an incident he showed it activity

30. And the justice of his speech stirred it
He knew duty, right and fulfilled it

31. And his justice shone light
Cutting strikes, not neglecting a confidant

32. Weaving safeguards of piety
Repelling harm and for homelands, safeguards

33. And building the council shields consecutively
With the hand of David or excelling in arrays

34. He protected it from any frivolous one commanding
Its safeguards with youthful pens, safeguards

35. With defense that fills the open plain with men
And attack that fills the lowlands with cavalry

36. He rides the difficult to its like
Not to comfort except when brought down

37. You shoot the arrow and it meets its match
It is not returning unless it meets a peer

38. I do not see Saad except through his deeds
So chant in them, if Egypt and Saad

39. He left the world to an abode
Lofty, too great to be confined

40. It descended from the highest in it exalted
So it is higher than the heaven of earth, seeking highness

41. And his soul ascended in its eternity
And ascended in the earth a body and a grave

42. Take that O time, so how many a hope for it
Has it attained from you, a position

43. You are to the people a goodly, worried father
Disgusted by their evil, most wicked child

44. Who can dispute you? And who has not appealed
To you, the adversary seeks the harsh opponent through you

45. The cycle of earth on its axes
Like the grindstone, grinding, and like the sickle, reaping

46. You lose from us friends and blood
Time does not cease slipping from them

47. You plotted evil, so you are not content with taking
From its heights, nor do you accept a rebuttal

48. You hastened in your course Saad and misfortune
If only you turned against us the opposite and expulsion

49. What is upon it if it were to return and rest
A trick so the East regains Saad

50. The lounge of the valley which from its mother
Shaded or after the sane turned insane

51. It descended from the paradise of immortality upon
The bank of the Nile so it flourished therein forever

52. The sun dressed it from its rising places
With garments, so it spread confident and gentle

53. The bouquet took from it a flower
That prides itself and from it the young gazelles fled

54. People in the morning gather around it
Or individually, the elders outpacing the youth

55. Passing on the talks which
Are like comfort and sweeter than it, a bouquet

56. It revived the people's spirits beside it
And guided them in the pitch darkness of the night, resting place

57. It is a shadow for the remorseful meadow
Where thorns grew for the wayfarer and a bouquet

58. It was a shadow whenever hope stretched to it
In dire need, it found support

59. If a raging flood overwhelmed the East
In the meadows of the West it met from it a dam

60. The usurper coveted enslaving
Its nation, but the usurper was most zealous against it

61. For in the valley are the hives of its bees
Homes where below the pond it pours honey

62. It brewed with its independence and fervor
The love of Saad not the passion of Hind and Saadi

63. You were among them a brave horseman
A leader of victory who prepared an army

64. You were harsh in the hands of one deterring
The sanctuary of the constitution and the ransomed Nile

65. You send light so you subjugate the free
Fierce in its leap or release a slave

66. You persisted as a Mudar in it harmful
And you chose from it a Ma'add ally

67. So if you wished you filled the horizon with flowers
And if you wished you filled the land with an army

68. O stars of earth that weep for a sky
That had from the stars of the horizon more guidance

69. It disappeared so behind it disappeared
We do not see or the eye of the sun winked

70. And it fell the day it fell, so the horizons clouded
We did not find after it any consolation so separation

71. How can it not judge when they said "It has judged"
And it, by crowns and realms, is ransomed

72. O tears of the East, pour rivers
At the sea's edge for I am peninsulas and tide

73. Do you see the East and perceive a mystery
That was like the sword, fatiguing and sheathed

74. Rightly-guided, or ardent, or falling short
Against the view of the West, not reaching maturity

75. When it disappeared the day what disappeared
And appears the day what appears

76. It hides like a lion, where does it hide
In the lair of the house, facing a lion

77. Seeking freedom for the Orient earnestly
From an eternal companion who exceeded his limit

78. Egypt, O Egypt, and how sweet is your memory
Beside the birds of the garden and flowers that sway

79. No blame upon your people if for them
Became the master of the free from you a slave

80. The page of history and glory that
Time glorified with it, describing and praising

81. It slaps the one saying about it confused
That we worship after God an individual

82. And ask history and the truth which
You gave or took in truth, striving

83. Exaggerate in blotting it out, publication, and purity
And seek from killing it a solution and contract

84. It was born free, steadfast
She placed it when the Indians' dawn cradle

85. She obliged it to the truth and religion that
Did not permit the free to revert to being a slave

86. O edifices which glory took
To the peaks and rugged hills the brown covenant

87. How much we lost in it in this sanctuary
The mighty, hard to replace if lost

88. And we cried over it vanished, pouncing
Upon you on the day of war like the predator and more hostile

89. Saad vanished so they filled the absence with antelopes
And filled the thickets with cubs and lions

90. O youth of the Nile, O lion of lofty
Places, you were not revealed to resist

91. Swear that you will follow or take
What he left of religion and doctrine

92. The best of Egypt's days is the day it begot
A hero who builds for it might and glory

93. The pilgrim's lesson, a year after him
A grave that has become an obligatory duty

94. Circulate around it and touch
Its corner then be most devout, delegation after delegation

95. And adhere to silence, perhaps you may hear
Wisdom from its silence, a bier and a grave
