1. O minister, the doctor is not for individuals,
But he is the doctor of the country,
١. يَا وَزِيراً لَيْسَ الطَّبِيبُ لأَفْرَادٍ
وَلَكِنَّه طَبِيبُ البِلاَدِ
2. Good intentions abound, but
The health of the people is above all intentions,
٢. يَكْثُرُ الصَّالِحُ الْمُرَادُ وَلَكِنْ
صِحَّة الشَّعبِ فَوْقَ كُلِّ مُرَادِ
3. It is no wonder that you called when
The souls of the honorable glories answered,
٣. لَيْسَ بِدْعاً وَقَدْ دَعَوْتَ إِذَا
لَبَّت نُفُوسُ الأَعِزَّةِ الأَمْجَادِ
4. How could Egypt recover and become
Trustworthy in its people and stable in its numbers,
٤. كَيْفَ مِصْرُ تَعَافَتْ وَأَضْحَتْ
بِبَنِيهَا مَصْدُوقَةَ التَّعدَادِ
5. Thankfulness is owed to you, it cannot be fully repaid,
And pride remains forevermore.
٥. لَكَ شُكْرٌ حُقُوقُهُ لاَ تُوَّفَى
وَفَخَارٌ يَبْقَى عَلَى الابَادِ
