Their benefactor, the noble, generous Al-Aryahee

And the awe-inspiring, gentle sheikh of youth

Most often in it aggrieved

And its course you gentled, and its soft breezes

Patiently, truly you were wise

And their boys, and fully enjoy the bliss

For a memory deserving for it to last

Sorrow, and has soothed a painful wound

And support the eminent Farouk of great Egypt
