1. The world roared, so what catastrophes does Egypt expect before it rises?
The world roared at the horror that left the whole world in turmoil.

2. Did the Nile flood or turn into lava or wrath pouring down?
I see Egypt suffering vertigo, and when it awakens, it starts wailing.

3. Egypt, O Egypt, and what good is crying?
Rage, O Egypt, like a lion pounce!

4. Rage, O Egypt, or else accept the shackles of humiliation and be content with war.
Is this really Egypt I see? Another nation and an overturned people!

5. Or have the days come full circle and now the lion mews like a kitten?
We never knew Egypt to be ridden like a docile camel by whoever wished to mount it!

6. When camels sense their death, they disable the rider without the saddle.
When Egypt raged, its rage frightened even the West when it raged.

7. It unleashed a roaring cry like the rumbling thunder of turbulent clouds.
The West listened to it and the world's ears heard it from behind barriers.

8. Oppression felt a shudder run through it like creeping dread.
It did not deter us when it violently attacked the messengers of truth like firewood foragers.

9. Souls flowed in it and the soil of glory was watered after drought.
Time recorded it among its artifacts as a glowing ember at the start of eras.

10. This, O Egypt, is your history, so remember what you have undergone and pursue the best path.
Return the ball, fear no dispersion, and overcome fragmentation through determination.
