1. O callers to righteousness through mankind,
And to dignity, O finest of brothers,

2. If great virtue is mentioned, you suffice,
As a group of strength, removing rancor,

3. What unity like the unity of nobles
Who have clasped their arms around benevolence,

4. I respond whenever a caller to concord in the country calls me,
The literati of Egypt and her prominent orators,

5. And the trusted among the people of merit and knowledge,
This sanctuary of yours, for it there is a great meaning,

6. Among its people, grand is its affair,
And I almost cannot fully thank you,

7. If I recited verses of thankfulness,
Groups in which joy has excelled, an assembly

8. Shining which delights the eyes,
There is nothing in you but an Egyptian nation,

9. O Egypt, and may the tongue of the critic be cut off,
How excellent a sanctuary for one who belongs and grows

10. From the principle of the two Harams,
If the foreigner finds with you hospitality,

11. He has not found it in the most fertile of lands,
How can another be more worthy? They have become your sons,

12. And their wealth, a homeland other than you and no second place of return,
Those who expend souls for you lightly,

13. And the treasures of the world without prices,
And despite the differences in origins, all of them

14. Are devoted in their love for her, self-sacrificing,
By God, differences and tribes are not

15. More precious than the sacrifice of the gallant youths,
But for a noble life it has been realized

16. In it the hopes for ascendancy and desires,
So may Egypt live free, rising to

17. Her goals in felicity and safety,
