1. O my president, family and kin
You have raised my status, with what celebration

2. The elite of the East gathered merit
And stature, I see them around me

3. Alas, O our venerable chief, be gentle
In the path of kindness and favor

4. You have excelled with eloquent miracle, and my ineptness
Is apparent, so be gentle with my state

5. You deserve the purest that every soul desires
Of pride, though my words do not increase

6. It is no novelty, O noble Yusuf
What we see in you of the noble traits

7. Such are you and the branches you have sprouted
From the planter of dignity and perfection

8. Your benevolent soul has urged you, so you did not neglect
My affection on the side of disregard

9. And you have scattered the eloquent scattering with what your virtue
Inspired, even if beyond my presumption

10. I do not see in praise more eloquent than
What you have attained from the pleasure of the high station

11. The era of that station is the most honorable covenant
Preserved in hearts, a loyal people

12. There is not among us, nor from us, any resentful
Or ungrateful to its ongoing kindness

13. The throne of Egypt has bestowed upon us shades
And melodies – an inspiration from those shades

14. All who are endowed with eloquence have fulfilled
The rights of reverence and veneration

15. With winged determination, they have gathered
Around it, in the succession of conditions

16. My burden has increased, O brother Salim, so what gratitude
Can fulfill what is due to the virtuous brother

17. You have quenched souls with a drink
Flowing from that chain

18. An outpouring from a repository of knowledge and
Literature in which is every question's answer

19. Satisfying us, between poetry and prose
With the exquisite adornments and the lofty imagination

20. Mukhwiris is a brilliant Mudirah
Whose success in debate surpasses debate

21. He has supported my stance today, and the credentials
Are few, so return without being few

22. He has triumphed in his lap, so who can I have
Any chance, in his lap or milestones

23. He is of the youth of sacrifice, so it is not objectionable
From him, this overzealousness in love

24. Ghanim has cast for me brilliant jewels, and the victor
Is the one adorned with those jewels

25. That necklace from him I have witnessed
The likes in the necklaces of eras

26. His voice rises in the circles of the generation
And its echo in the hearing of generations

27. He showed me kindness in my old age, so the gift of the cub
Preserved the awe of the grizzly

28. We were once what you are today, so live
The sturdiest trees grow sturdiest

29. Then this description which delights the eye
Came from a silent brother

30. Arshid – he is the comforting doctor
And the healer of ribs and limbs

31. He practices curing souls with poetry
In which the teardrop mixed with the medicinals

32. Generosity, if I wore what robed me
I would drag the envious in my train

33. Your musical instrument, O virtuous Sam, enchants
With its keys both locks and unveilings

34. In its wondrous strings lies no temptation
Of illicit magic or sorcery made lawful

35. The garden's nightingale, if it sang celebratory
Or improvised, captivated hearing

36. It has no peer save Fadil
Excellent harmonizer and excellent profiler

37. Your rhythms, O Shahrurah of Wadi, enthrall
As the system attains perfection

38. They have brought back, while hearts dance accordingly
The dances of poetry and lyrics

39. And melodies of tenderness, coquetry,
Flirtations of youth, and my devotion

40. O you who sing, you have heard me
Melodies that do not quit my mind

41. The warbling of infants - never
Forgotten, nor the tune of farewell at separation

42. O days of youth, soon to pass
Among people I have left, not parted

43. In a land to which my heart has returned
Every land where I pitched my encampment

44. What yearning stirs in the core
Of the ardent from memories of its plains and mountains

45. What sweet water, what fragrant air
In the gardens and groves

46. What emerald sea surrounded
By a frame of sandy coasts

47. What beauty in all that meets the eye
Of its fine vistas and scenery

48. Of its people, who have lived the ages
And purified their deeds through strife

49. If few in number, then ask
Between the far poles about their great deeds

50. The summits of minarets in the riverbeds
Or the slopes of hills have taught them

51. What resolve takes in avoiding precipices
What determination takes in ascending aspirations

52. What daring says to the false fate
Facing the truthful fate

53. O children of our first mother, avoid sickness
And roam all the land's expanse

54. Between its settled and desolate parts
Between the distant south and north

55. And with excellence wherever they headed
They were the pride of the traveling

56. O children of our mother Egypt, and among them
To my right and left, most beloved

57. The nation of the East flourishes with virile
Hunters from you, and with charming girls

58. And men in every science and art
And innovation, elites among men

59. And women of every beauty and refinement
Noble, they are tempting coquettes

60. Egypt, to which we fled
With loads of worries, burdens heavy

61. When our meadows were under tyranny
And its free children in shackles

62. And the guided preachers, but when they took
Refuge in Egypt, they drank bitter torture

63. It settled us in a house of honor that consoles
All who left other houses, discontent

64. Its spacious chest did not resent what
It was tasked, with no influx or expatriates

65. That was an era in which the Arabs suffered
Affliction and humiliation they suffered

66. Then it passed, praise cannot accompany mention of it
And the days of independence arrived

67. Free nations renewed within them
The birth of glory after decadence

68. Egypt assumes leadership among them
And it is a right, none contests it

69. A paradise next to another paradise next to another
Oh, if only their cord remained connected

70. One homeland, so if homelands move
Then joining them is inclusive gathering

71. God has favored the Nile Valley – was any valley given
Beauty and majesty like it possesses?

72. And this wondrous fertility which was and remains
A parable people cite

73. And these trustworthy people who were granted
The sweetest attributes and traits

74. They are a people free of tempers, generous
And too proud to compromise their dignity

75. Persevering, trials only augmented their perseverance
Torrents have overwhelmed them with calamities

76. Steadfast, trials only augmented their steadfastness
Torrents have overwhelmed them with calamities

77. Patient, they have endured time until
They turned its back to prosperity

78. May Farouk live for Arabism, tending
To it, and tending to him his Sublime Lord

79. And may his purpose be delivered to every
Ally king and loyal ally

80. And you have been rewarded with goodness from me, O you
Who have honored me beyond my hopes

81. May God bless you and water
Your saplings, every smiling downpour
