1. O pearl enveloped by the Nile
And embraced by land

2. Dawn has risen and darkness has spread
Imprisoning you at dawn

3. The young camel herder cried out
A genius with reddish complexion

4. And a group of young men on horses circled you
Shaking their eyes clear

5. They got excited and started a celebration
And stayed up late into the night

6. What an amalgamation of art
Created by your hands and magic

7. The bull bellows, the sheep bleats and the donkey brays
While the beasts frolic and the plants grow lush

8. The tones harmonize, the melodies blend
And the flutes play a delightful tune

9. The voice of the flautist rises
While he is immersed in passion

10. The neighbors were annoyed
By the constant noise

11. Some instruments broke
As they fell, unable to be fixed

12. That one has a cracked head
How much it hurts and wounds!

13. And that one is sick
Like a grave for memories

14. And your horn, O sun
Scattered particles at that time

15. So every branch has lanterns
Dripping with dew that it sheds

16. The rising sun's light turned red
In the green land

17. It melted into the sand
Or dissolved into the hills

18. The wind walks as if
It will not scatter any particles

19. The sand glitters and shines
Dazzling all sight

20. The boats on both banks
Seem unstable like time

21. One sail broken
Another sail folded

22. It unfurls and folds while the wind
Passes by from over there

23. One boat sways
While another dashes

24. It settles and sets sail, while the river
Remains still and quiet

25. On the shore, many birds
With various wings gather

26. And many a nest for the falcon
And the beautiful sandgrouse is home

27. It flourished by the Nile
With the best roots and most noble trunk

28. Wearing it down for ages
Rectangular in shape by the yard

29. The river bank almost
Casts it away, untouched

30. And the Nile offers it
Sustenance, though meager

31. How many eras have passed
And how many epochs crumbled!

32. That is where she takes refuge
When the fire grows intense

33. Oh sister of Egypt, you are devoted
To her in times of adversity

34. Long live your youth
With prosperity and ease!

35. How many people in the farms
Smelling the mud walls out of hunger

36. They hurried to it
With no way out

37. One is picking
Grass with great effort, not settling

38. Another is busy with plowing
Another with sowing

39. And the flood plain became filled
With a sight that brings joy

40. Wheat in the ears
Nothing was difficult

41. Or impossible
The morning has continued

42. With more to come in your shelter
