1. To Egypt I come from Syria
With greetings of honor to the honorable

2. Greetings overflowing with praise
Like the breeze, scented with flowers

3. I was assigned to her and my confidence emboldened me
Judging myself by the worth of the reformers

4. When good and gratitude prevail
Exchanging sincerity and harmony

5. My beloved homelands, out of love
I am the link in this system

6. A link not out of vainglory
My inferior opinion obliges my position

7. But out of firm loyalty to me
And close care for the covenant

8. Smile at me, O port of Beirut
Listen to the duty of kindness through a smile

9. O sea, lend me your precious pearls
To thread into speech

10. O forests of sacred Lebanon
Renewed from old vigor and valor

11. I see you have tender feelings
Your affection was mentioned, aroused from love

12. Give me pure kindred souls
To convey the greetings of peace

13. My country, your love remains with me
As it was before weaning

14. I kiss your soil where enemies
Cast filth, missing the target

15. I sacrifice myself for every frozen arrogance
Which fell from the bombs of the despicable mob

16. How can the whelp lie slaughtered?
Its bones crushed on the dusty ground

17. How can the child be killed though guiltless?
Its innocence undefiled by guilt

18. By the justice of the impartial
Are not the desperate blamed for blaming?

19. God has made the ambitions barren where they settled
For that is the worst corruption of peace

20. Troubling pure water
And spreading disease through drinking places

21. To kill the safe and say " console yourself -
Your bath is no dove's bath"!

22. You will be happy with what heals you soon
And enjoy, after sinking, the high position

23. Either you live free
A peak of aspiration

24. Or you contribute to the heights
Your strings aimed at the heights

25. An era has passed when neighbor sheltered neighbor
And the unlawful was taken for the weak

26. This is an age of rivalry
With no limit, to gain ruins

27. Whatever you wish is permitted - take it
By right of opinion or right of sword

28. Don't heed the wailing of victims
Or your conscience's plaint in darkness

29. Masters of greed, you haven't mentioned
What steps up asleep, the law

30. So let no weak one be weakened
Or seen as fit food for the lion's grip

31. We understand the course of the aggressor against us
And excuse of the august rulers

32. The alternative to an age in which
The arrogance of the people ruled the titans

33. A time when one people prevailed over another
And reduced it to the status of slaves

34. So a people of kings - what were
Their degrees, and a people of tyrants?

35. Between the two races a difference in kind
Despite all being human

36. I say, and the East has awakened terrified
From a state like a dream

37. At the roar of thunder defending it
And the dance of death between its hills and sands

38. I say with its voice to the defenders of a house
Pelted by rebels of the West, throwing spears

39. The pride of Arabs and Turks refusing oppression
Eagles of Syria, lions of the thickets

40. The heroes of the age on horse and foot
Stars appearing from behind the veils

41. We are sick with luxury, so wake us
With zeal curing finer slumber

42. The numbness of stillness is in us - warm us
With fever of leaping where fear is red

43. In us the deafness of hearing - so startle us
With the clashing of steel when swords meet

44. You have brought mighty proof
That we return to perfection

45. That if we err or slip
We refuse to be blamed by force

46. I am here, having failed to keep
Our tryst, discerning the conclusion

47. If words seem decorated, we spurn
Using them like the tricks of wine

48. In this hope we walk steadily
Guided toward the imam

49. I stand lifting my veneration for my people
To Abbas the intrepid king

50. To the king of solidarity and kinship
Leader of the East after the imam

51. I proclaim my utmost capacity
In praising his brother, the lofty summit

52. Perfecting the emirate of the sublime origin
With overflowing merit like the origin's tower

53. And I pray God empowers Egypt
And grants it eternal Sa’ud
